WEST WINDSOR, N.J. – For the seventh year in a row, No. 2 Texas Rowing advanced all three boats to the NCAA Championships 'A' Finals after taking home a semifinal victory in the First Four and claiming a pair of runner-up finishes by the Eights at Mercer Lake on Saturday. Each boat will compete for an NCAA National Championship in Sunday's Grand Finals. Texas is one of four programs to send all boats to the 'A' Finals this year, joining Stanford, Yale and Washington. "These Saturday semifinals are always tough and very stressful, so it's very satisfying to get all three boats into their A finals," Texas head coach Dave O'Neill said. "This gives us a chance for a great day tomorrow. We might not be the favorite, but we're in the hunt for sure." Due to forecasted inclement weather, Saturday morning's schedule was bumped up, creating early start times in cold and windy conditions. Additionally, the First Four fought against rain in the final race of the morning. With a 6:20 a.m. CT start, the Texas First Varsity Eight punched its ticket into the 'A' Final with a runner-up finish in 6:07.677 while competing in a loaded semifinal. Texas, Princeton and Stanford were neck-and-neck through the first 500 meters before Stanford emerged out front and Texas positioned itself in second. Stanford won the race in 6:03.543 while Texas beat out third-place Washington, who finished in 6:10.311, by almost a boat-length. Rutgers claimed fourth in 6:13.429 followed by fifth-place Princeton (6:15.781) and sixth-place Michigan (6:21.641). "The First Eight came out really hot this morning. We fixed some things from yesterday, and being able to make adjustments at this event is really important. Conditions were a little challenging, so it was good to have a solid bow pair of Abby Dawson and Lucy Searle keeping it steady and strong for the rest of the crew." In the next race, the Texas II Eight pieced together another hard-fought effort in their-runner-up finish, clinching its spot in the 'A' Final. Stanford presumed an early lead and hung onto to it, winning in 6:12.600 followed by Texas, who clocked in a final time of 6:17.724. Virginia (3rd- 6:20.084), Tennessee (4th- 6:21.368), California (5th- 6:22.656) and Syracuse (6th- 6:38.244) followed. "The Second Eight had another solid race, and it's good to see them going so well. There are some good rowers in there, and they've come together well the last couple of weeks. Phoebe Robinson and Allie Altonhave provided some good power, length and leadership in the middle of that crew." The Texas I Four put together a masterful race en route to its second victory of the weekend to clinch a spot in the 'A' Final. Stanford jumped out to an early lead, but the Longhorns charged back and made a brilliant move to overtake the Cardinal at the 1,500-meter mark. The Horns then held onto the lead to win by a boat-length in 6:57.731 followed by Stanford (2nd-6:59.939), Tennessee (3rd-7:04.461), Syracuse (5th-7:04.799), Harvard (5th-7:09.601) and Princeton (6th-7:13.247). "Our Four was terrific, and they're just getting faster. They rowed beautifully in the second half of that race, and it was great to see them get the win. This is first time racing at the championship for Dani Thiermann, Jess Colbran, and Paris West, and they keep getting faster." Texas is set to compete in Sunday's Grand Finals in pursuit of its fourth NCAA title over the last five years, beginning with the I Four at 8:36 a.m. CT. The II Eight will race at 9 a.m. CT and the I Eight will close out the national regatta at 9:24 a.m. CT. The final day of the NCAA Championships can be streamed on NCAA.com/liveschedule. Live results and heat sheets can be accessed at Regatta Timing. Lineups: I Eight: Amy Werner (Cox), Sue Holderness, Imy Grey, Marg Van der Wal, Ilva Boone, Phoebe Wise, Lucy McFarlane, Lucy Searle and Abby Dawson. II Eight: Bronwen Holmes (Cox), Rhiannon Luke, Katherine Nordheim, Phoebe Robinson, Allie Alton, Amelia Gleed, Savvy Jerome, Taryn Kooyers and Ellie Rodriguez. I Four: Paris West (Cox), Nadja Yaroschuk, Daniela Thiermann, Jess Colbran and Paula Becher. -

The game of softball is fun to watch. The incessant chanting, screaming, and screeching make it unbearable on the ears. -
