#FromTheSidelines: Totally worth the 4:45am wake up alarm and the 45 minute drive each way to Newnans Lake in Gainesville, to be able to go out on the water with the UF Women’s Crew team for their Saturday sunrise practice. The team is not just impressive in their work ethic and dedication (their season goes from Labor Day to Memorial Day) but the fact they are considered a “club” sport at UF but compete against Division I teams and come away with not only wins, but championships and titles. The “Gator Standard” of producing championship teams is well represented by this group of talented, focused athletes. They’d like nothing more than to get that long-sought-after Division I classification. Here’s hoping they get it. 🐊🐊 • • • • (📸 @cyndichamberssports) @uf_crew @ufrowingcoach @scottstricklin @presidentfuchs #crew #rowing #ufcrew #ufrowing #concept2rowing #rowinglife #rowingrelated @womeninsportsphotography @womensportsphotographers @womeninsportsphotography #gators #NVRQT 🤙 (at Newnans Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MRWuJFJmJ/?igshid=1hxxd8wdx9kow
