Trinity Women's Varsity Eight Nominated For Crew Of The Year, Vote Now
Hartford, Conn. - The Trinity College first varsity eight boat, which finished easily defeated Williams College in the grand final at the NCAA Championships to be crowned as the fastest boat in all of Division III rowing and became the first-ever Division III boat to qualify for Henley, has been nominated for 2008 Crew of the Year by www.row2k.com.
Trinity, coached by Wesley Ng, won the Head of the Charles in the fall, finished the spring season with a best-ever, 15-0 varsity eight dual record, and placed second in the New England Championships, the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Championships, the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) National Invitational Regatta, and the NCAA Division III Championship Regatta (best-ever finish at NCAA's). The Bantam varsity won varsity eight grand final at the NCAA Championships to earn its second NCAA Division III Varsity Eight National Championship crown. Trinity's season extended into the summer, as the Bantams won the Senior+ event at the Henley Women's Regatta and nearly qualified for the Rememham Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta, falling victim to a broken oar.
Vote here before Thursday evening.
