BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana rowing captured a No. 15 national finish Sunday (June 2) from the 2024 NCAA Rowing Championships at East Fork State Park in Bethel, Ohio.
The Hoosiers scored 47 points on the weekend to capture the program's best national finish since 2019. Indiana returned to the NCAA Championships for the second-straight season and improved on last year's 17th-place performance. IU has appeared at the national regatta in eight of the last 10 full seasons.
All three Hoosier crews competed in C finals Sunday, racing for national spots 13-18. Indiana's Varsity Eight had the best result, finishing in second in a back-and-forth battle with Virginia. The Hoosiers led at the 500, 1,000 and 1,500-meter marks, though the crews traded the lead many times throughout the race. The Cavaliers pulled out in front just enough at the end with a time of 6:27.421, as IU took the No. 14 national finish in 6:28.693 in front of Rutgers (6:31.225) and three more boats in its final. The finish marks the boat's best NCAA performance since also taking 14th place in 2019. The V8 posted a 10-4 head-to-head record at the NCAA Championships to improve to 33-11 on a year in which it won silver at the Big Ten Championships in May.
Indiana's 2V8 finished fourth in its final with a time of 6:44.815 to capture 16th nationally. The Varsity Four finished 17th in the country with a fifth-place result Sunday.
Indiana's historic season concludes with another NCAA appearance after the Hoosiers earned a program-record finish at the Big Ten Championships, taking second-place at the conference regatta. Head coach Steve Peterson was honored by the conference for the second consecutive season as Big Ten Co-Coach of the Year and V8 rower Nico Daly was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
