While the competition was formidable, the women’s team is proud to have earned the title of 10th in the nation, which is the best finish for a women’s eight in the club’s history. The men’s lightweight crew also faced fierce opposition, where they succeeded in placing 11th in the nation. The men’s pair, which was a new addition to the championship competition, won the C-Final and placed a respectable 13th in the nation.
