Texas Tops Post-Season Division I Women’s Rowing CRCA Poll

Fresh off its victory at the NCAA Women's Rowing Championships, the University of Texas topped this year's final Women's Division I Pocock CRCA Poll presented by USRowing.

Texas earned the NCAA team title this past weekend thanks to a win in the varsity eights race, which served as the tiebreaker in the team standings. Texas, Stanford University and the University of Washington all finished the regatta with 126 points, but the Longhorns took the national title with their top boat's victory.

In the final CRCA rankings, Texas received 24 or 25 first-place votes to earn the top spot. Washington ranked second, followed by Stanford in third. The University of Michigan and University of Virginia rounded out the top five.
