ITHACA, N.Y. - The Ithaca College men's rowing team wrapped up the fall season on their home water racing in Cornell's annual Touchdown Regatta. The race consists of a 3k meter head race as well as a 300 meter sprint piece on the way back to the docks.

For the Bombers, many rowers raced twice in both fours (4+) and eights (8+). The competition for the men included Cornell's heavyweights and lightweights, RIT, Hobart, Mercyhurst, and Bucknell.

The first event of the day for IC was the men's four. The Bombers had three entries in the category. The first lineup (Ithaca A) featured coxswain Miles Kenaston and rowers Gregg Seiz, Colin McCarthy, Jake Lentz, and Seth Freeman. The second IC four (Ithaca B) included coxswain Sami Smith and rowers Wesley Hoglin, Henry Grant, James Ross, and Griffin Hunt. Finally, the Bombers third crew (Ithaca C) in the category featured coxswain Caroline Grass, and rowers Riley Maynard, Jonah Alefantis, Aidan Gardner, and Cameron Stanford.
