Virginia, Vanderbilt Win ACRA National Championships
At the 2025 American Collegiate Rowing Association Championships, May 18, on Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn., the University of Virginia’s men’s first and second eights both won their grand finals at the collegiate club rowing national championships.
Vanderbilt won the women’s first eight, and Bowdoin won the women’s second eight
“It was a great weekend,” said Virginia coach Frank Biller, “a lot of fun.”
That fun included coaches from competing schools gathering before dawn each morning of the three-day regatta to pull logs and other debris washed onto the course by heavy rains.
“We just do that,” said Biller of the camaraderie among club coaches, whose programs are not funded by their universities’ athletic departments. “It’s not even a question that we would do that for each other.”
