No. 7 Rutgers Rowing Set to Compete in NCAA Championships Friday, May 28 through Sunday, May 30
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
RU 1V8 advances to the Semis with a 2nd place finish behind only Stanford. RU beat Cuse, Bama, Navy, and Marist. 2V8 race starts at 10 am.
RU 2V8 finishes 3rd behind Texas and Cal and will have to race this afternoon to get into the A/B Semis. They beat WSU and Navy.
RU 2V8 finishes 3rd in their heat behind Texas and California. So we move on to the Repechage later today to see if we can move on the the Semi-finals.
RU 1V4 advances to the Semis tomorrow with a 2nd place finish behind Stanford. RU beat SMU, Duke, and Wisconsin. So 2 out of 3 boats are already in the Semis and hopefully the 2V8 can get in there as well this afternoon.
RU 2V8 wins the afternoon race and advances to the Semis tomorrow morning, beating Wisconsin, Duke, Princeton, Navy, and Marist. Great Day 1!!
Rowing Advances to A/B Semis in All 3 Events at NCAA Championships
Delays in the race. RU 1V8 just punched their ticket to the Grand Finals with a 3rd place finish in the Semis!!! Almost beat Michigan for 2nd place but defeated OSU, Bama, and Cuse.
Ok, race was postponed due to Texas boat problem - race just went off - RU 3rd and in the final!!!
I could be wrong, but this has to be the first time in team history that RU has a boat in the Championship Race at the NCAA Tourney. Even if they finish dead last in it tomorrow, it'll be huge experience moving forward.
RU 2V8 finishes 5th in the Semifinal race and will race in the B level finals tomorrow, beating Cuse.
Great job. Our 1st 8 is elite. We are not coming in last tomorrow. I predict 4th being inched out of third place
Saw some RU fans in FL for Day 2 of the races during the 1V8 delay. Wonder if the RU Tampa Bay Alum group is there for the races.
1V4 finishes 4th in the Semis and just misses the Championship race tomorrow behind Texas, UVA, and OSU.
Would love to have beaten Michigan. Thought we were going to take them. Very glad we beat OSU which had beaten us in the Big Championships. Congrats Ladies! GO RU!
Wouldn't surprise me if the 1V4 boat wins the Consolation race and finishes 7th overall tomorrow. A little disappointing that they couldn't get into the Championship race as it would've been excellent experience but I like their chances to finish 7th overall which would be ahead of their 9th place seed. We will definitely finish with a trophy tomorrow (10th place or better).
Rowing’s Varsity 8 Advances to Grand Final at NCAA Championships
Hey, I was there! My wife and I drove up from Ft. Myers and stayed overnight in Sarasota. It was fun to be a part of this. We met some wonderful Rutgers people!!! My voice is horse from yelling...unfortunately we're going to miss tomorrows races but we'll watch the live stream. Good luck ladies!
I went to the NCAA championships in 2013 to watch my daughter row and I was shocked at how tall and built most of these girls from the elite programs were. Alabama in particular.
That being said, rowing is one of the worst sports to go watch your kid participate in. Other than the tailgating it’s quite boring except for the 10 seconds their boat goes by
RU 1V4 boat wins the B-Finals and clinches 7th, beating Cuse, Duke, Brown, WSU, and Cal.
Currently in a lightning delay. Looking at the radar it doesn't seem like theres much weather around Sarasota, but it is Florida...
How do the point standings work out?
Just announced race start at 12:40. So counting down.
