PENNSAUKEN, N.J. – No. 2 Rowing opened the 2023 NCAA Rowing Championships with a sweep of three races at Cooper River Park on Friday morning to advance all boats to Saturday's A/B semifinals.
Texas swept the opening round heats of the NCAA Championships for the third consecutive year and had all three boats place in the top-two for the sixth-straight championship.
"Day one is complete, and we did what we were looking to do," said Texas head coach Dave O'Neill. "These three days can be a real grind, so it was good to have all boats race in control and win their heats.
