2025 BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS RECAP
Four Big Ten teams are competing in the 2025 NCAA Division I Rowing Championship, beginning Friday, May 30. Washington earned the conference’s automatic qualification after sweeping the Big Ten Championships, while Indiana, Michigan and Rutgers were at-large selections for the 22-team regatta. It is the 14th time in the last 15 season that at least four conference teams have been selected for the NCAA Championship.
The 2025 NCAA Championship will be held May 30-June 1 at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J. and will be covered live on NCAA.com.
Teams participating in the NCAA Championship are required to field two boats of eight rowers (I Eights and II Eights) and one boat of four rowers (Fours), with all 22 boats being seeded into four heats.
Washington continues its streak with its 28th appearance, having competed in every championship regatta in the NCAA’s history of the event. The Huskies, who last won a national championship in 2019, are seeking their sixth title and have earned the No. 4 seed in the I Eights and the No. 2 seed in both the II Eights and Fours.
Indiana is making its ninth appearance in the championship regatta after collecting fourth place at Sunday’s Big Ten Championships. Looking for the program’s first top-10 finish, the Hoosiers are ranked No. 10 in the I Eights and No. 17 in the II Eights, while checking in at No. 16 in the Fours.
Michigan finished third at the Big Ten Championships and is on its 17th straight postseason trip. The Wolverines are seeded eighth in the I Eights, 14th in the II Eights and ninth in the Fours this year. Michigan had its best NCAA finish at Mercer Lake with a second-place showing in 2012.
Rutgers earned its sixth consecutive berth into the national regatta after coming in second at the Big Ten Championships, its highest placement in program history. The Scarlet Knights have been seeded at No. 6 in the I Eights, No. 9 in the II Eights and No. 6 in the Fours for the NCAA competition.
