The women’s varsity eight won by over 16 seconds, the men’s double won by over 11 seconds, and the women’s quad and novice four each won by 10-second margins. The men’s novice four had a 15-second edge over its closest competitor.

Placing second were two men’s varsity fours, a novice mixed four, a women’s varsity four, a men’s second four, a novice mixed eight, a women’s double and a men’s quad. The rowers head to Occoquan Saturday for the Darrell Winslow Regatta.
