Rowing Back to the NCAA

For the third consecutive year the Wisconsin women's open weight rowing team is heading back to the NCAA Championships.

The field was announced on Tuesday and to no surprise the Badgers were back in. The Badgers won both the Big Ten and the NCAA Central Region title this year.

This will be the sixth bid for the program in the last seven years, and the fifth under coach Bebe Bryans in her six years at the helm of the Badgers ship.

The Badgers are seeded 14th in the varsity eight, 8th in the second eight, and 4th in the varsity four.

The NCAA Championships will be held at Lake Natoma in California on May 28-30, where the Badgers will look to beat their best overall finish of 6th from 2006.
