The Rutgers rowing team made history on Wednesday, as they are now ranked 15th in country in the latest Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association/USRowing Coaches Poll. Not only is it the highest ranking in program history, this is the first time they’ve been ranked since the national poll transitioned to team rankings back in 2010. This comes a few days after Rutgers won the Doc Hosea Invitational, beating out then no. 14 Syracuse and then no. 15 Minnesota for the team trophy.
This strong performance followed a season opening result that included winning three events at the Cooper Sprints, highlighted by a win over then no.
