Princeton’s Open Women are NCAA Bound!
This past Sunday was the Ivy League Championship for Women’s rowing. Princeton Entered a boat in every event and placed well enough as a team to finish as the top team in the Ivy League. The team trophy was won after a very strong performance from the Tiger’s Varsity 8 where the Tigers finished 7 seconds over second place Yale. The win in the Varsity 8 also served to secure the Ivy League’s automatic bid to the NCAA Championship. While most conferences award their automatic qualification spot to the top team in their conference, the Ivy League has decided to ensure the fastest Varsity 8 is represented at the NCAA Championship. A write-up of Princeton's NCAA qualification can be found HERE.
The Tigers started off the day in strong fashion by winning all of their heats. Complete results of the heats can be found HERE.
Princeton’s Team Championship was helped along by a win in the 3rd Varsity 8 and a string of Bronze Medal finishes in the Varsity B 4+, Varsity 4+ and Second Varsity 8. Results of the finals racing can be found HERE, courtesy of row2k.com. You can also find 500m splits HERE. You can find a run down of the points totals HERE.
