The 2012 and 2014 National Champions will make their sixth NCAA appearance at the National Championships after strong performances at the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships and Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships. Cal Poly Humboldt is currently ranked number one in the CRCA Pocock poll and the ‘Jacks aim to remain at the top heading into the final races of the season.

The championships will be held May 26-27 at Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, New Jersey with Temple University and Camden County Boathouse serving as hosts. The team championship is composed of six teams. Each team is required to field one boat of eight rowers and one boat of four rowers. The institutions selected were: Cal Poly Humboldt, Central Oklahoma, Embry-Riddle (Florida), Thomas Jefferson University, Seattle Pacific and Western Washington.

“I am so proud of the work that this team has put in to make a run at the NCAA Championships, but they have not done this alone,” said Head Coach Matt Weise. “Support from alumni, parents, and friends, as well as administrators, athletic trainers, and our university professors have supported the athlete’s efforts throughout the year and helped create a successful team environment. Thank you, for all of your support and generosity.”

The 2023 Cal Poly Humboldt Women’s Rowing Team stated, “Thank you to our community and donors for the support that pushes us to go faster and further. Our success is also thanks to our legacy of athletes that came before us. We do not row in our boats alone.”

The team held a selection show watch party on Tuesday inside of Lumberjack Arena. To watch the full selection show hosted by the NCAA, click here.
