The Buckeyes met 125 of the nation’s best crews in the city of brotherly love. Dad Vail (est. 1934) is the largest regatta in the country and is among its most competitive. Strong semifinal performances were made by the Men’s novice four, the Men’s pair(uncoxed), the Men’s varsity lightweight four, Women’s novice four and the Women’s varsity eight. The team would like to express tremendous appreciation to the Alumni association and the Parents club. The tent, cheering and food (especially the food) were the best they have ever been, creating an excellent atmosphere for rowers and parents alike.

This year’s Mid-American Collegiate Rowing Association championship took place in Athens Ohio. The Men’s lightweight varsity four took home gold,
the senior varsity four took silver, and the varsity eight earned bronze. The
Women’s novice 4 took gold, the varsity light four took silver, and the
varsity eight took home bronze.
