Fairfield University's rowing team is preparing for the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta, a key event on their fall schedule. Both the men's and women's teams will compete, with the women focusing on the club 4 and club 8 events. Coach Patterson emphasizes the program's history of success, particularly with the women's four, which has the best position to qualify for next year’s race. Meanwhile, the men's eight aims to improve and gain ground against more established programs. This year's competition presents a challenging landscape, but the team looks forward to the experience and testing their skills.
