 Coast Guard head coach Steve Hargis reacts as the final results are posted and the Bears advanced to the Grand Final at the NCAA Championship.
Before the race, Coast Guard grabbed the attention of the spectators as a C-130 cargo plane did a fly by at Lake Notoma as part of at training mission.
Coast Guard, which is making it first appearance in the Grand Final since 2004, needed to finish in the top three of the six boat Grand Qualifier, but got off to a slow start and were fifth after the first 500 meters. The Bears made up some ground and moved into fourth place at the halfway point (1,000 meters).
It appeared the Bears would not qualify for the Grand Final as they were 2.5 seconds behind third-place Bates with just 500 meters to go before the Coast Guard crew simply dominated the final 500 meters of the race posting a blistering time of 1:45.61 down the stretch to finish with a time of 7:07.80 to beat Bates which had a time of 7:08.22
Coast Guard also had the fastest time in the third 500 meters of the race with a time of 1:49.02 as the Bears, who trailed Puget Sound by seven seconds with 1,000 meters to go were beaten by just over one second by Puget Sound (7:06.53) as Ithaca placed second with a time of 7:07.08. |
