The top-seeded and undefeated Radcliffe varsity four finished in fifth place with a time of 8:03.7, with Brown winning the event with a time of 7:43.5.
“At the 1250 [meter mark], we lost our cox-box and we couldn’t hear the calls from then on,” said freshman Daria Hinz. “But we were getting moved on before we lost the box.”
“That’s another reason why it’s great that we made NCAAs,” Hostetter said. “The [varsity] four will have a chance at revenge. The [second varsity] has been doing great all season and they will get to see Brown again.”
The Black and White first novice boat’s time of 6:53.18 earned second place behind Cornell’s 6:51.3. Radcliffe’s second novice boat pulled into third place with a time of 7:01.98 behind Wisconsin and Brown.
Radcliffe’s impressive finish helped earn the bid to the NCAA championship on Lake Lanier in Gainesville, GA.
“Our bid to NCAA was really dependent on beating Yale and B.U.,” Hostetter said.
In the lightweight races, Radcliffe took third place out of the 12 competing crews.
