PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown women's crew is set to make its 25th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Championship after receiving an at-large berth to the 2022 Championship Tuesday evening.
The 2022 Championships will begin on Friday, May 27 and continue through Sunday (May 29) at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida. It's the second straight year the Championships have been held in Sarasota and third time since 2018.
The University of Central Florida and the Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Associates
will once again serve as hosts of the 2022 NCAA Championship.
The Bears are one of three programs alongside Princeton and Washington to appear in every NCAA Championship since its inception in 1997.
Brown's Varsity 8 boat is seeded fourth and will race in Heat 4 against #5 Yale, #12 SMU, #13 Virginia, #20 Northeastern, and #21 Rhode Island.
The Bears' 2V8 crew grabbed the fifth seed and will race in Heat 4 #4 Stanford, #12 Syracuse, #13 Princeton, #20 Rhode Island, and #21 Jacksonville.

There are 22 teams in the 2022 field split between 11 automatic qualifiers and 11 at-large selections. Brown is one of four Ivy League teams in the field with Princeton, Penn, and Yale. The Pac-12 leads all conferences with five selections with the Ivy League (4), ACC (3), and B1G (3) all receiving multiple bids.
