BLOOMINGTON, Indiana - The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA)/USA Rowing Preseason Top 25 poll was released on Wednesday and the Indiana Hoosiers checked in at No. 12 in the country.
This comes on the heels of back-to-back NCAA Championship apperances for the Hoosiers the last two seasons, the first two apperances in program history. In 2014, Indiana placed 11th as a team at the NCAA Championships, with the First Varsity Eight coming in 10th. Then, in 2015, IU also placed 11th out of 22 teams at the NCAA Championship with the 1V8 once again finishing 10th. The Hoosiers have also posted program-best finishes at the Big Ten Championships the last two seasons and won medals for the first time in school history.
Indiana will get the 2016 season underway on April 2 when they host Louisville and Notre Dame at Lake Lemon as part of the Big Ten/ACC Double Dual.
Other Receiving Votes in Alphabetical Order: Cornell University, Duke University, Michigan State University, Northeastern University, University of California, Los Angeles
