Trinity Men, Williams Women Claim 2007 NESCAC Rowing Titles
HADLEY, Mass. - Due to high winds at the
Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) National Invitational
Rowing Championship at Dorchester Park in Whitney Park, N.Y., the
event was cancelled prior to the completion of the varsity eight
races. Because of this, the 2007 NESCAC Rowing Champions were
determined by the New England Rowing Championship (NERC) results
that occurred at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass., on May 6.
The Trinity Men's Rowing team was crowned the 2007 NESCAC Champion
for the third year in a row after the Bantams recorded a time of
6:02.692 in the varsity eight grand final. The Williams Women's
Rowing team secured its second-straight NESCAC title and third
overall with a 6:58.624 time in the varsity eight grand final.
The Williams women earn the NESCAC’s automatic bid to the
NCAA Division III National Championship Regatta at Melton Hill Lake
in Oak Ridge, Tenn. on May 25 through 27. The Ephs won last year's
NCAA Rowing Championship.
