The two top women's varsity boats and a novice crew out on Lake Washington Saturday morning, 10/14.  Tough to fully represent the intensity and sheer effort left out on the water that morning - as the team gears up to send one boat back east for the Head of the Charles - but these photos give a decent measure of the commitment and desire of these Washington athletes.  Eric Cohen/WRF photos, 10/14/06.
