Race Central: NCAA Championships

BETHEL, Ohio – Third-ranked Tennessee is set to compete at the 2024 NCAA Rowing Championships Friday-Sunday this weekend, May 31-June 2, at East Fork/Harsha Lake in Bethel, Ohio.

During the May 21 NCAA Championships selection show, Tennessee earned an at-large bid and was tabbed the No. 4 overall seed in the First Eight, the No. 2 seed in the Second Eight and the No. 7 seed in the Four. Tennessee's trio of NCAA Championship crews combine for a remarkable 96-4 record this season.

This year marks Tennessee's 10th NCAA Championship appearance all-time and the second since 2010. In 2021, the Lady Vols' most recent NCAA appearance, the team finished 17th. Tennessee's program-best finish at the NCAA Championships came in 2007, when UT placed ninth at Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Competition begins Friday morning with Division I heats underway by 9:48 a.m. ET. There will be four heats in each of the 1V8, 2V8 and 1V4 boat classifications. The top three crews in each heat will advance to the AB semifinals, with the remaining boats moving to the CD semifinals.

The Lady Vol First Eight crew hits the water at 10:24 a.m. Friday for its heat race. At 10:48 a.m., Tennessee's 2V8+ takes the course in a heat, before UT's First Four gets underway in a heat at 11:36 a.m. to conclude Tennessee's action on day one.
