Husky Men's Crew takes home National Championship!


The Washington Men's Varsity Eight picked up its second national championship in the last three years by winning the IRA regatta on Lake Natoma in Sacramento this afternoon.

Washington rowed a smoking 5:51.465 to beat second place Brown by over 5 seconds. #1 rated Cal finished third followed by Boston University, Harvard, and last years national champion Wisconsin.

The Husky JV's, Frosh, and Men's Open Four also won their races in impressive fashion as Washington claimed the overall team championship based on points for the third consecutive year. The men's four with cox finished second to California in the finals.

Two National Championships in one week?

5th in Golf, with an All-American (Nick Taylor)?

20 athletes in the NCAA Track Championships?

It’s great to be a Husky.

Congrats to the Men’s Crew team, upholding and adding to the tremendous history of success of that program at the UW.

Surprised me!

Cal was putting up some ridiculous times in the heats. Go Huskies!

Heats

They may have burned themselves out early.

The competition was pretty even this year. If they ran it again on Sunday the outcome may have been completely different.

Listen to the audio of the last race

Cal was in the lead or second place until the last 200 meters or so then the Dawgs took over. The announcer was in awe, good stuff, great job by Crew

Wrong Results

They had the wrong times posted at the IRA site yesterday. Cal actually finished second and Brown was third.
