Long Beach State Crew traveled to the American Collegiate Rowing Association’s National Championships in Oklahoma City, OK, to race their WIRA-titled crews from earlier this month.

The regatta faced some tough course conditions with 35+ mile per hour head winds and choppy waterways causing two major delays throughout the weekend. The Men’s Pair (M2+) events went into semi-finals with Long Beach State making it into the petite finals, before all small-boat events were cancelled Sunday morning.

The Women’s Lightweight 4+ took on a close fight in the time trials for lane placement on Saturday, completing a run of 8:58.301 in tough water conditions.

Their grand finale on Sunday placed them in fourth with a time of 9:12.67. The University of Kansas took home the gold with a winning time of 8:51.83, followed by Michigan State, 8:57.4, Georgia Tech, 9:02.38, The Beach, and trailing behind, Northwestern Crew, 9:20.2, and Ohio State at 9:31.48.

Congrats to Beach Crew for their success on the season!
