Lady Vol 1V8 Earns Big 12 Boat of the Week Honors

IRVING, Texas – After picking up a win and a pair of second-place finishes during the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invite, Tennessee's 1V8 boat earned Big 12 Boat of the Week honors, the conference office announced Wednesday.

The Lady Vols opened the regatta with a win against Navy, Notre Dame and Tulsa – all of which received votes in last week's Pocock Coaches Pool. UT crossed the finish line in 6:33.221 to place first.

In its second race, the boat took second behind No. 11 Yale but saw an impressive 19-second drop from its morning time with a 6:14.579 mark, besting Tulsa and Clemson in the event. Tennessee's time in the race made it the third-fastest 1V8 boat during the regatta. The group concluded the weekend with another second-place finish in a race against No. 14 Duke and Navy.

This marks the third time Tennessee has received Big 12 Boat of the Week honors since joining the conference in 2015. The last time was on April 19, 2018.
