Orange coast crew is eliminated in regatta semifinals

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England — Orange Coast College’s heavyweight eight crew was eliminated in Saturday’s semifinals of the Temple Cup in the 153rd Royal Regatta. The Pirates led by half a boat

length at the halfway point, before Ireland’s Trinity College, from Dublin, finished strongly for a three-quarters length victory. Trinity College was timed in 6 minutes 31 seconds. Trinity

will face Imperial College of London in today’s final. This was Orange Coast’s ninth appearance in one of the world’s most prestigious regattas, and the second time it has advanced to the

semifinals. Orange Coast has never made it to the finals. MORE TO READ
