Washington Huskies Women’s Rowing Team Sweeps To Championship

The Washington Huskies athletes are on a roll. Rather, they are on a row of success stories. The latest of which happened earlier today to earn the team the 2017 NCAA Women’s Rowing Championship.

But the record was not the win. Nor was it the fourth win for the team in the 21-year history of the event. It was greater than that.

CLEAN SWEEP.
