Gonzaga’s freshmen 4 and open 4 boats both placed third in semifinal heats during the International Rowing Association National Championships at Cooper River in Camden, N.J., on Friday.

Both GU boats will race in today’s Petite Finals, for places 7-14.

The Bulldogs’ varsity 4 boat placed second in its semifinal and will race against Western Washington today for 15th and 16th places.
