Thanks to GMU Crew Club for hosting a great regatta. On time in a downpour, many races can't manage that in the best of conditions.
FULL UPDATE RANKINGS
More out of region teams have been added. Results from other regattas are preloaded, waiting for overlapping competition at HOCR, HOSR, or Hooch.
EIGHTS
Big day for the Vikings at their hideout at Oxford Boathouse today. Whitman Rowing took the Occoquan Chase by storm, reinforcing their #1 regional ranking with the results today. Both the Girls and Boys Varsity Eights won today. Both of those eights would have placed 2nd overall in the collegiate race as well (Behind UVa Men and Georgetown Women). Boys with a commanding lead of 26 seconds over league rival Gonzaga & girls with a 7 second lead over TBCRacing. Both races a true David & Goliath situation where Goliath found themselves slain.
ODBC Boys had the biggest move of the day. Coming in ranked 11th and finishing 5th is a good improvement for them.
WJ over B-CC in the Boys 1v8 by less than 1 second is pretty spicy as well. Excited to see this crosstown Bethesda fight shake out.
Resilient's performance at the Challenge did not seem to truly pan out today. Was it all just practicing the turn?
FOURS
TBCRacing seems to be establishing themselves as a fours program. Girls had big depth taking 1-4 in the Upper Varsity Four (2v,3v, and 4v within 20 seconds) and the Boys seem to have a singular lightning in a bottle four. Boys results did not pan out into the eights, girls were close but not matching the dominance in the fours.
Jackson-Reed seems like they should be able to put up stiff competition in the fours should they chose to race these boats again. I guess we'll see at HOSR or HOTO!
WRAP UP AND STATS
Will anyone locally be able to catch the Vikings? DC National still seems to be a dark horse right now. They are coming off a REALLY STRONG spring 2026 season (winning Youth Nationals in the Girls 4+ and 5th in the Boys 4+) but have yet to race anyone this fall. Traditionally they have been able to lay down some speed and we're excited for them to join the fray.
See you next week for the Charles!
