SARASOTA, Fla. – No. 1 Rowing swept three heat races on day one of the 2022 NCAA Rowing Championships at Nathan Benderson Park on Friday morning, advancing all boats to Saturday's A/B semifinals.
It marked the second consecutive year Texas has won all three heat races at the NCAA Championship and the fifth-straight championship in which the Longhorns' three boats finished in the top-two heat positions.
"We had a really good first day, and everyone did what they needed to do. There's always some uncertainty heading into this weekend, so it was great to have a solid first day," said Texas head coach Dave O'Neill.
