PENNSAUKEN, N.J. – Indiana rowing earned a 17th-place national finish on Sunday (May 28), totaling 41 points during the 2023 NCAA Rowing Championships at Camden County Boathouse in Pennsauken, New Jersey.

Indiana returned to the national championship regatta this weekend (May 26-28) for the seventh time in nine full seasons and first time since 2019. It was also the seventh appearance for the Hoosiers under head coach Steve Peterson, the 2023 Big Ten Coach of the Year.

Indiana finished 16th nationally in the Varsity Eight and Second Varsity Eight competitions, and its Varsity Four finished No. 17 in the nation. The 2V8 beat its seed after coming into the weekend as the No. 17-rated II Eight crew.

IU advanced to the NCAA Championships after a program record third-place finish at the Big Ten Championships earlier this month. The conference regatta performance was highlighted by a silver-medal finish by the V8 – the boat's best-ever finish at the Big Ten Championships.
