Patriot League Release
Full Race Results
CHERRY HILL, N.J. – Colgate put together its best racing of the season Friday afternoon and posted a fourth-place team finish at the 2021 Patriot League Rowing Championship.
This marks Colgate's best team result since the 2011 Raiders finished third in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Colgate improved its times from the morning heats to the afternoon finals in all three races, with a highlight being a fourth-place final result by the Second Varsity 8+ that was more than 13 seconds better in the second race. The Varsity 8+ and Varsity 4+ both finished fifth in their respective afternoon finals.
Navy won its sixth consecutive Patriot League title, sweeping all three heats and all three finals to outdistance second-place Bucknell and third-place Boston University.
