"They raced better today, but we're definitely getting better," Patton said. "Now we're a little hungry, and we'll get another shot at it in a couple of weeks."
It seems as though improvement is necessary in order for SU to catch better teams at the Eastern Sprints May 18. Hubbell said quicker starts are where the Orange should begin in order to have better races. Reischman admitted his team's starts have not been the focus of practice yet this season.
"We practice it more and more as the season goes on," Reischman said. "Early in the season we just try to focus on the 500 to the 1,500 (stretch of the race). When we're comfortable with that then we put a little more time and effort into the start, but we're really focusing on the body part of the race."
The Orange will have to keep fighting to improve if it wants to reach its goal of attending the I.R.A. Regatta in June.
"They just raced better than we did today," Hubbell said. "There's nothing we could have done. We have some work to do, but Columbia is just good."

It's rowed, not rode, genius. (toward the bottom of p.1)
