US Lightweight Men’s Four Squeaks Into Final at Rowing World Cup Event in Varese, Italy

The US lightweight men’s four team of Robin PrendesAnthony FahdenEdward King, and Tyler Nase made it to Sunday’s final but they didn’t have much time to spare. Competing in the second semifinal, and needing a top three finish to advance, the US finished with a time of 5:55.24 that would have been good enough to win semifinal A by almost a second. Instead it left them third in their semifinal and just 0.28 seconds ahead of the fourth place Italian boat. The US certainly has a shot to win or at least medal on Sunday.

Thomas Graves wrapped up his competition in the men’s single sculls competing in the Final D. Graves was much closer to his first time from Friday and finished second to the Latvian boat in the race.

Along with the lightweight men’s four team competing in the final on Sunday the men’s four team of Charles ColeMatthew MillerHenrik Rummel, and Seth Weil will compete as well after having reached the final directly with the top time on Friday in the heats.
