Hey everyone! I'm really passionate about rowing and I'm looking into colleges with strong women's rowing programs. Where can I find the NCAA women's rowing rankings? And what colleges are consistently at the top of these rankings? Thanks!
Hi there! It's fantastic that you're enthusiastic about rowing and looking for colleges with strong women's rowing programs. The NCAA women's rowing rankings can be found on the US Rowing website and the NCAA website. They publish rankings for Division I, II, and III teams throughout the season. Keep in mind that these rankings can vary from year to year, but there are some schools that consistently perform well.
Some colleges that are often seen near the top of the NCAA women's rowing rankings, particularly in Division I, include:
1. University of Washington
2. University of California, Berkeley (Cal)
3. Stanford University
4. University of Texas at Austin
5. University of Michigan
6. University of Virginia
7. Yale University
8. Princeton University
Of course, it's essential to consider other factors like the academic offerings, financial aid, and campus life when selecting a college, not just the rowing program. If you're interested in other divisions, you can find rankings for Division II and III on the NCAA and US Rowing websites mentioned earlier. While the rankings are a useful starting point, I encourage you to also research individual programs to find the best fit for you, including team culture, coaching style, and athletic facilities. Good luck with your college search, and I hope you find the perfect rowing program!
