Rowing DIVISION I

Rowing DIVISION I Highlights Virginia Rowing Wins Program’s First National Championship: Second-seeded Yale rowed to a start-to-fi nish I Eights victory and Virginia captured the team title on the fi nal day of the NCAA Division I Women’s Rowing Championships May 30 on Lake Natoma. Yale, which had the fastest semifi nal time, completed the 2,000 meters at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center in 6 minutes 24.76 seconds. Virginia (6:25.75) was second, followed by Princeton (6:27.06), California (6:27.60), Stanford (6:31.30) and Southern California (6:34.21). With its fourth place in II Eights, second in I Eights and dominating win in Fours, Virginia claimed the team title with 87 points. California fi nished second with 82, followed by Princeton with 76. Defending team titlist Stanford was fourth with 75. It is Virginia’s fi rst team title since the NCAA began the women’s championships in 1997. Despite heat and semifi nal winners both clocking 6:16 times, the I Eights fi nal, the concluding event of the three-day regatta, was about eight seconds slower. “We knew we had to get out to a fast start,” said Taylor Ritzel, Yale’s senior captain. “We knew Princeton would be right there, and if we could get out quick, then we just had to row our race.” Rowing into a headwind, Yale moved to the front, with the top four boats rarely changing positions and fi nishing less than three seconds apart. “It was very diff erent today; we defi - nitely felt the headwinds,” said Ritzel of the Bulldogs’ inside lane. “Our coxswain always calls out the times after each 500 (meters), so we knew it was slower.” Yale had the best times in each of the fi rst two 500-meter splits, and California posted the fastest mark for the third split. Virginia had the fastest fi nal 500 meters, but Yale’s consistency prevailed. “I defi nitely thought for us it was best to key on Princeton,” said Yale coach Will Porter, whose Bulldogs won the I Eights title for the third time in four years. “They’re so fast out of the start and can dictate a race. We wanted to go with them. “When it’s a race like this when everyone is even with speed, there’s really only one way to do it. You have to assert yourself and really push it.” In Fours, Virginia claimed the title in 7:07.98. The Cavaliers dominated this portion of the regatta, posting the fastest time by at least fi ve seconds in each race. California (7:13.18) was second, followed by Wisconsin (7:13.72), Southern California (7:14.87), Brown (7:18.49) and Washington (7:19.31). “It was a great regatta,” said Washington coach Bob Ernst, completing his 37th season. “Women’s rowing has come a long way. This is fi rst-class stuff out here. The Yale crew that won the varsity race, that was just awesome.” 2010 TEAM RESULTS I Eights II Eights Fours Total 1.
