PENNSAUKEN, N.J. – SMU rowing made history with a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Rowing Championship, the best finish in program history.

They crossed the line in 7:26.285, good for fourth place in the race and a 10th place finish overall. The Mustangs finished 2.7 seconds ahead of fifth place Duke and 3.2 ahead of Ohio State.

In the second varsity eight, the Mustangs put together a fifth-place finish, an 11th place finish nationally. They finished 3.8 seconds ahead of sixth-place finisher, Michigan. 

In the first varsity eight, the Mustangs had their strongest finish of the day, and a program record setting performance. The Mustang squad won the petite final with a 1.7 winning margin over second-place Syracuse. The finish gave the Mustangs a seventh-place national finish in the first varsity eight, their best performance in program history.
