HENLEY-ON-THAMES, ENGLAND – The Brown women's crew eight boat captured the Championship flight title with a semifinal win over Thames Rowing Club and a final win over London University.
The 4- and 4x- crews both advanced through the semifinal races into the Championship finals, both falling to the Leander Club in closely-contested races.
"We want to congratulate this team on their excellent racing at Henley and all through the season and we want to thank the administrators, parents and friends who helped make it possible," said Head Coach John Murphy. "The cheer at the end of the medal ceremony today was definitely a special touch."
The 4- crew clocked a semifinal time of 4:54.5 to advance to the Championship with a one-length win over Tyrian Club / London University (4:57.0).
The crew then hit the water three hours later for the Championship race against Leander Club. The Bears finished with a time of 4:56.3 in the final, finishing two seconds behind Leander in a tightly-contested race.
The 4x- boat posted a time of 4:54.2 for a 4.9-second victory over Cal in the semifinal race. Two-and-a-half hours later, the Bears challenged Leander in the Championship race. The Bears clocked a time of 4:52.6 to finish just 1.6 seconds behind Leander in another tightly-contested Championship race.
The eight boat hit the water at 1:54 p.m. against Thames Rowing Club in the semifinal. Similar to Saturday's races, the Bears jumped to an early lead and posted a 5.7-second win with a finishing time of 4:31.3.
Brown advanced to the Championship Eight final against London University to close the 2022 Henley Women's Regatta. Brown shaved multiple seconds off the semifinal time and finished at 4:28.4 for a 6.9-second win over London.
The Bears continue the international trip with two weeks of training prior to competing in the 2022 Henley Royal Regatta. The ancient Regatta is set to begin on Tuesday, June 28 and continue through Sunday, July 3.
