Badgers rowing: Seven boats to race in IRA grand finals

WEST WINDSOR, N.J. — The University of Wisconsin will send seven men’s and women’s boats into their respective grand final races today at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championships on Lake Mercer.

The men’s second varsity eight reached the final by finishing third in the semifinals while the varsity four finished third in a four-boat photo-finish.

Those boats join the men’s lightweight four, which qualified Friday, and the men’s freshman eight, which did not need to qualify.

The men’s third varsity eight finished fourth and will participate in the petite final for places seven through 12.
