The Washington Huskies Men's Crew has the opportunity to make history. Never before in the history of the sport has a program won five straight IRA National Championships. When the #1 Huskies take to Mercer Lake, NJ on May 29-31, they will be looking to bring home their fifth consecutive and 18th overall championship. Check out this Go Huskies article for all the details.

The #5 Women's Crew team will also be competing in the championships as an at-large entry. The Dawgs finished third in last week's Pac 12 Championship regatta.
