For the first time the WPI Rowing Program placed ALL boats in the GRAND FINALS at New England’s. A real testament to the depth and strength of our the program! The standout row of the day was the WV8 with it’s Silver Medal row in the final race of the day. This is the highest finish of the WV8 in team history, and a significant upset in the world of women’s rowing as our #8 ranked V8 uncorked an open water win over #2 Wesleyan, #3 Williams, and #5 Wellesley (2018 NEWMAC Championship).
Team Finishes:
- WV8 – 2nd
- MV8 – 5th (only 1.5 seconds off Bronze)
- W2V8 – 6th
- M2V8 – 6th
- W3V8 – 5th
- M3V8 – 4th
- M2V4 – 4th
- W3V4 – 6th
With our 2V8 finishing 6th, we are currently in a strong position to earn a bid to the NCAA Championships. Next week’s NIRC will be an important row, so if you can make it to the lake please come support the team!
