UW crew shines

CHERRY HILL, N.J. – Washington captured the Jim Ten Eyck Memorial trophy for the fourth consecutive season by accumulating the most points at the 108th annual Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships which concluded Saturday.

All five Husky crews earned medals, including national championships for the varsity 4+, second varsity 8 and the freshmen 8. The varsity 8 captured silver, losing to California, while the open 4+ will bring bronze back to Seattle.

The UW team title made it the first time a program has achieved such a feat since Wisconsin from 1999-2002. Next year the Huskies will have the opportunity to accomplish something no crew has done – a fifth consecutive Ten Eyck.
