Virginia Wins Princeton Chase Women’s Championship Eight

The Princeton Chase brought women’s rowing teams to Lake Carnegie on Nov. 1 to close the fall season, with Princeton hosting and Penn and Iowa among the competitors. Iowa’s top eight finished 12th in the women’s open eights, nearly 12 seconds faster than its time a year earlier; the Hawkeyes also placed 23rd and 37th with their other eights and 16th in the fours. Penn entered the regatta after winning four events at the Head of the Schuylkill, while Princeton came in on the strength of a second-fastest collegiate time in the championship eight at the Head of the Charles.
