To gain experience racing, F&M also raced two men's pairs, and they included the duos of Jespersen and Cameron, and Ibrahim and Taxter.

"We want to take a moment to thank the Washington College Shoremen for hosting us, as it's always great to get side by side racing in," said Head Coach Bob Brady. "It was also a great day for all of our crews to be able to get competitive strokes in and continue our development through the fall season."

The Diplomats wrap up their fall season at Head of the Schuylkill on Saturday, October 25.
