Rowing DIVISION I Highlights Virginia pulls ahead to win fi rst varsity eight grand fi nal, claim second national title: Virginia’s fi rst varsity eight won the grand fi nal to clinch its second NCAA championship May 27 on Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J. The Cavaliers fi nished with 87 points, while Michigan was second with 82 points. California was third with 78, just ahead of Princeton, who had 77. “It feels great,” head coach Kevin Sauer said. “I was just thinking, ‘Come on you guys, do what you are capable to do.’ I told them before the race to remember who they are and what they want and they just went out and did it. They were tight in the beginning and were a little behind, but they were patient and in the second thousand [meters], they were awesome.” Trailing California by three points going into the fi rst varsity eight+ grand fi nal, Virginia held off Michigan and won by nearly a full boat length in 6:18.72. The Wolverines were second in 6:22.09, while Southern California was third in 6:25.06. It is the fi rst time the Cavaliers have won the fi rst varsity eight title. Virginia, who was seeded fi rst in the fi rst varsity eight coming into the regatta, was second to Michigan after 250 meters, but had taken the lead by the 750-meter mark. Halfway through the race, the Cavaliers had a fi ve-seat lead against Michigan and by the fi nish, were almost leading by open water. “For the last month or two, we felt we had a shot, but it had to be a team performance,” associate head coach Steve Pritzker said. “We knew the four had to be at the top, we knew the 2V8 had to make the Grand Final and they did that. I think its great that even though those two boats didn’t win, they can see what a great part they played in this team championship.” In the varsity four, Virginia jumped out to a fi ve-seat lead against Ohio State by 500 meters. But Ohio State overcame the Cavaliers at the end and won the race in 7:13.09 to Vir- ginia’s time of 7:15.18. California placed third in 7:21.15, while Yale (7:23.53), Princeton (7:26.23) and Washington (7:29.20) rounded out the fi nal. In the second varsity eight, Michigan won in a time of 6:37.04, ahead of Ohio State (6:38.94) and Cal (6:40.85). Virginia placed fi fth in 6:44.97, behind Princeton (6:42.61) but before UCLA (7:10.40). “This is more than I could have ever asked for,” senior co-captain Sarah Borchelt said. “The best part is that we had almost the entire team here cheering us on. Every day, every race, the ups and downs and the blood, sweat and tears we shed was all worth it.” 2012 TEAM RESULTS I Eights II Eights Fours Total 1.
