RU 1V4 comes in 2nd to Michigan but beats WSU. Next RU race isn't until around 10:45 vs OSU.

It wouldn't shock me if RU Women's Crew ends up winning that elusive B1G Championship as a team. So far RU has won 6 out of 8 races and placed 2nd to Michigan in the 2 races the team didn't win. The 1V8 boat for RU has the best overall time as of now as well.
Coach seems legit and not just a one hit (one season) wonder.
What I have seen from the results is the top tier teams are Virginia, Michigan and Rutgers. My take is Virginia is the best and Rutgers and Michigan are neck and neck, maybe Michigan slightly ahead. Though head to head Michigan has beat Virginia. There are more races tomorrow but my take is we should pass a few schools and be a solid top 10 school when new rankings come out. Pass tOSU, Alabama and Tennessee. We are very close to Virginia who is ranked 3rd. We have a very impressive program

I think we might end up Top 5...Washington, Texas and UVA will be Top 3, then either combo of RU and Michigan will be 4/5. I definitely think we are at worst dead even with Michigan for Top Dog in the B1G.
Day 1 of the races are over. Day 2 will start up around 8:30 AM or so. Good question on if they will declare a winner or not.
No. 11 Rowing Starts Big Ten Invitational With Seven Wins
RU 1V8 creams Indiana, Cuse, and WSU in their first race of Day 2.
RU 1V4 places 2nd to Cuse and beats Indy and WSU. We have a few more races with the backups a little later in the morning.

Talk about a coach & a coaching hire. Price in his 3rd year has taken a program from nowhere to what I would argue is elite status.
looking at the results our 1V and 2V eights are top tier. We barley lost to Virginia yesterday 1V.. 10's of a second. Beat everyone else including Michigan. Looks like our 1V four is competitive but about 15-17 seconds behind the best. We do have some strong depth as well
So what you’re saying is NEW HC’s can make a difference??? Remember this when making your argument about O’Neill next time my friend.
BTW - completely agree
Yes, of course, coaches make a huge difference. Situations are, of course not analogous, O'Neil did not take a program that was nowhere. He took over a solid program & has continued to have very good success with it, albeit not to the elite level that many of us would like to see. Really need to give the drum a rest my friend, & try not to become a one trick pony turning everything into a condemnation of O'Neill.
RU beats Bama and Iowa decisively in the 2V4 race. We have some really good depth.
RU beats ND and Iowa decisively in the 3V4 race. We have 1 race left...the last one of the Tourney between Minnesota, ND, and MSU.
At this point, I think we are either #4 or #5 in the nation depending on if we are ranked ahead or behind Michigan. Washington #1, Texas #2, UVA #3, RU #4, Michigan #5 in my biased opinion. Margin between RU and Michigan is so razor thin.
The B1G Championship will be a nail biter. Our 1V 2V 8s will lead the way, but it will be up to our depth to bring it home. Covid will be a wild card. Not sure if OSU was impacted by it but they were not a factor in this event.
If this invitation were just RU v. Mich, I have it scored 183 RU vs. 177 Mich. I am truly shocked by this. I can't wait to see the next poll.
