GOLD RIVER, Calif. -

Three Oregon State women’s crews – Novice 8, Second Varsity 8 and Varsity 4+ – rowed to first place finishes in Sunday’s finals races.

 

OSU’s N8 backed up Saturday’s heat win when it raced to a five-second victory in the Grand Finals against California’s ‘B’ crew, Wisconsin and beat Stanford by 20 seconds.

 

The C Final the Beavers’ 2V8 cruised to victory past Sacramento State and Central Florida in a lopsided race with OSU crossing the finish 12 seconds ahead of the Hornets. OSU’s V4+ found itself in a tighter competition but beat the Hornets across the line by 2.5 seconds.

 

Oregon State’s V8 finished second in the C Final 3.5 seconds behind Central Florida and 5 seconds ahead of Sacramento State.

 

The Beavers next race on their home course at Dexter Lake in Lowell, Ore., April 30, against Washington State.
