Ohio State Rowing Team (6 Straight B1G Champs, 2013-2014-2015 National Champs)



SATURDAY RACES

The Buckeye 1V8 semifinal race was scheduled for 8:36 a.m. Saturday but an equipment issue with one of the teams changed the order of the races. The Buckeyes were moved to the second semifinal race vs. Alabama, Rutgers, Michigan, Texas and Syracuse. The Top 3 finishers advanced to the grand finals Sunday (positions 1-6). The remaining teams advanced to the petite finals (7-12).

The Buckeyes battled Big Ten foes Michigan and Rutgers for a Top 3 finish and a chance to advance to the Grand Finals Sunday but Ohio State came up just short, finishing fourth in the second semifinal race Saturday with a time of 6:17.009 just behind Rutgers at 6:14.057.

Ohio State’s 2V8 semifinal, scheduled for 9:24 a.m., was contested against SMU, Michigan, Washington, California and Wisconsin.

The Buckeyes earned a spot in the Grand Finals Sunday with a second-place finish in a hotly contested race in the semifinals. Ohio State was in fourth place after the 1,000-meter mark but moved to the No. 2 spot at 1,500 meters and held off Michigan and California behind semifinal winner Washington. The Nos. 2-4 finishers were separated by less than one second. The Top 3 positions advanced to the grand finals (10:24 a.m. Sunday).

In the 1V4 semifinal, the Buckeyes started at 10:24 a.m. in the second semifinal vs. Washington, Virginia, Texas, Rutgers and Duke.

Ohio State will have a pair of boats racing for a national title after the 1V4 finished in the No. 3 spot of its semifinal race Saturday. The Buckeyes battled Rutgers the entire race for the third and final spot in the grand finals at 10 a.m. Sunday.

The Buckeyes are one of four Big Ten teams to compete in the 2023 championships. The Buckeyes, along with Indiana and Rutgers, are three of the 11 at-large selections while Michigan is the Big Ten’s automatic qualifier.

The NCAA event is being held at the Cooper River Park Camden County Boathouse in Pennsauken, New Jersey.

The Buckeyes are one of 22 teams who will compete at the championships. Each school will field two eight boats and one four boat for the championship event.

How does the scoring and final placing relate to the Learfield?

I have Ohio State finishing 11th or 12th overall (as a team) Sunday after the three finals. Eleventh would be 57 points in the Directors' Cup.

Texas and Stanford will both be Top 4 (as a team) Sunday. So that's 100 (1st) and 80 points (4th).

Rowing wasn't ever going to really help us. Been to multiple OSU regattas this year and saw the 1V8 losing by open water to teams that it should more competitive against.
