Tennessee’s rowing team claimed another honor during its 2021-22 season.
Tennessee 1V8 earned its third consecutive Big 12 Boat of the Week honor on Wednesday.
UT press release:
With its second top-20 victory in as many weeks, the Tennessee varsity eight boat earned its third consecutive Big 12 Boat of the Week nod to start the season, the league office announced Wednesday.
In a dual with 18th-ranked Alabama, the Lady Vol 1V8 crossed the finish line in 7:15.4 to beat the Crimson Tide by 12 seconds on their home course. The victory improved the boat’s record to 7-2 this season and lifted UT over its conference rival. During the week before, Tennessee topped No. 6 Virginia on the road during the UVA Invitational.
“The crew has used each race as an opportunity to develop, and it’s nice to get recognition for a job well done,” head coach Lisa Glenn said. “We’re excited about moving into the later season and continuing to improve.”
With its third Big 12 Boat of the Week honor of the season, UT has already surpassed its total weekly awards won prior to this season (2) after joining the conference in 2015.
Tennessee, ranked 17th in the most recent Pocock CRCA Coaches Poll, is off from competition this weekend but returns to action for the Big Ten Invitational in Sarasota, Florida, on April 15-16.
