PENNSAUKEN, N.J. – No. 15 Rutgers rowing won a pair of C/D semifinal races on Saturday at the NCAA Championships at Cooper River Park. The 2nd Varsity 8 and Varsity 4 both won their races with open water to qualify for Sunday's C finals, which determine national places 13-18, while the Varsity 8 also qualifies for the C final with a second-place finish in their C/D semifinals on Saturday.
The Varsity 8 boat turned in a time of 6:25.089, just 0.7 seconds off the pace of No. 12 Ohio State, to place second in a thrilling C/D semifinal. The Scarlet Knights led by 0.3 seconds at the halfway point before the Buckeyes made a move during the third 500, but never got more than a second ahead of Rutgers until the photo finish.
The 2nd Varsity 8 overcame an early lead by No. 10 Syracuse, who led by less than a second at the 1,000-meter mark. The Scarlet Knights turned it up during the second half, leading by nearly two seconds at 1,500 meters before finishing strong with open water in front of the Orange by 5.2 seconds to win their C/D semifinal.
The Varsity 4 was dominant from start to finish in their C/D semi, opening up a boat-length lead by the 500-meter check and never looking back. The Scarlet Knights opened up their lead to nearly seven seconds at the finish with open water ahead of No. 18 USC.
