May 22, 20223 yr Texas is the heavy favorite to win the national championship. They were the top seed in all 3 races for the NCAA championships. Stanford was the #2, #3, and #4 seed in the 3 races. Either them or Washington will be the biggest competition.
May 24, 20223 yr The NCAA championships start on Friday. My niece is on the rowing team so I'll be tuning in. This has the chance to go down as one of the most dominant teams in Texas history. They've won 25/26 races so far this year and the only loss was the Second Four (who are basically backups). The three boats that will compete at the NCAA championships haven't lost a race all season.

Having known crew folk well in college, I have the upmost respect for these athletes and dedication this sport requires. Amazing to see how it's spread nationally over the last 30 years.
May 27, 20223 yr Texas won heat 1 this morning in the first 8. Advanced to the semifinals. Name of the game is to advance.
May 27, 20223 yr Second Eight won their heat and advanced to the semifinals. Just one more boat in the prelims later in the morning.
May 28, 20223 yr Author First Eight and Second Eight win their heats and advance to Grand Finals. Weather delay for the third semis Edited May 28, 20223 yr by Js1
May 28, 20223 yr Author 10:40 resumption for last Second Eight semifinal. 11:10 for Grand Four semifinal
May 28, 20223 yr Beating Washington in the 4s is going to be tough tomorrow. As long as we can hold on to second there and take the 2 - 8s, we'll be golden.
May 28, 20223 yr Based on times in semis this is where the 3 contenders finished today 1 8s: Texas #1, Stanford #2, Washington #3 2 8s: Texas #1, Washington #2, Stanford #3 4: Stanford #1, Washington #2, Texas #3 If that's how finals finishes this will be the final point totals Texas 130 total points. Stanford 125 total points Washington 123 total points
May 28, 20223 yr Based on times, Rutgers was really fast today in the First 8. Not far off Stanford or Washington. It would be nice if Rutgers upset one of those teams in that race. It's also the race that rewards the most points.
May 28, 20223 yr My Longhorn son joined crew this Spring, which I thought was ridiculous since he had to get up at 4:40 5 days a week and got an extra hour of sleep on Saturdays. He stuck with it and ended up sitting stroke seat at ACRA a few weeks ago and got a medal. Gives me a whole new appreciation for the sport and I’ve enjoyed watching the Horns keep winning. Three golds would be great but that’s going to be tough.

Stanford 125 total points Washington 123 total points Well let’s finish better than 3rd in 4s and leave no doubt
May 29, 20223 yr Starting with the Four. 1st gets 22 points 2nd 21 points 3rd 20 points 4th 19 points 5th 18 points 6th 17 points Based on times this weekend compared to competition this is our weakest boat.
May 29, 20223 yr Wow, what a wild race. The 3 teams figured to be the contenders finish 3rd, 4th and 5th.
May 29, 20223 yr Just now, Aleemay said: Fours get third place but most importantly ahead of Stanford and Washington Yep - that was huge.
May 29, 20223 yr Through 1 event: Princeton 22 points Ohio State 21 points Texas 20 points Stanford 19 points Washington 18 points Brown 17 points
May 29, 20223 yr Author 1 minute ago, Aleemay said: Fours get third place but most importantly ahead of Stanford and Washington That’s what matters! Go win the other 2 now
May 29, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, Aleemay said: Fours get third place but most importantly ahead of Stanford and Washington Yeah, Texas will take that result based on the semifinal times and projected times of the other boats. Princeton still has a shot at this thing but Stanford and Washington are considered the primary competition.
May 29, 20223 yr Next Race about to start... You've got 1 job and you can't read the lane assignments correctly... 😂😂😂 Edited May 29, 20223 yr by LTtxfan
May 29, 20223 yr Author Just now, Aleemay said: Simple math now- First 8 needs to win and Texas will get the 'ship Hey no pressure
May 29, 20223 yr If Texas finishes 1st and Stanford 2nd they would be tied at 124. First Eight is the tiebreaker. So yup, if Texas wins 1st they win the national title.
May 29, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, Rickylovesweed said: Point totals after 2 events: Texas 58 Stanford 61 Washington 58 Princeton 58 So all 4 are rowing for the title then with a win
May 29, 20223 yr First Eight times in the semifinals: Texas 6:18.359 Stanford 6:22.185 Washington 6:23.741 Princeton 6:24.909
May 29, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, Pato del Muerto said: So all 4 are rowing for the title then with a win Yup, whichever team finishes 1st wins a national title (assuming it's one of those 4 teams).
May 29, 20223 yr Think the Second Eight was too reliant on the sprint at the end. Tried to make up too much ground which is their strength but needed a better start.
