Women's Crew Team Wins the Gold

DE PERE, WI (October 6, 2004) - The North Park University (NPU) women's novice four-person crew team won a gold medal at the Tail of the Fox Regatta Saturday in a wind-shortened event hosted by St. Norbert College.

The Viking women - comprised of crew members Jenna Stromquist, Carolyn Reep, Erica Print, Kathryn Tournell and coxswain Rose Lee - defeated eight other crews including boats from the host school, Division I entry Marquette University and other small college entries and rowing clubs.
