Beavers head to 2022 NCAA Championships in Florida
CORVALLIS, Ore. – No. 15 Oregon State women's rowing is set to compete at the 2022 NCAA Championships this Friday through Sunday, May 27-29. The regatta will be held at the Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Fla.
The NCAA announced the 22-team field for the regatta last Tuesday, May 17. The NCAA postseason appearance is the first time for the Orange & Black since the 2009 campaign and the 3rd in program history.
The Beavers were one of 11 teams that received an at-large selection to complete the championship field. Teams qualifying for the championships are required to field two varsity eight boats and one varsity four.
Oregon State goes into the NCAA competition each boat seeded based on results from the spring season. The Beavers Varsity Eight is seeded 11th, the Second Varsity Eight is seeded 16th and the Varsity Four is seeded 14th. The seeding determines which heat each boat is in for their first race of the competition.
With an incredible fourth place finish at the Pac-12 Championship, the Beavers are excited to continue their historic season with the toughest series of races on the horizon in Florida.
