Rowing Finishes #5 In Final CRCA Coaches Poll of 2025 Season
June 04, 2025 | Rowing
For the second consecutive year, the Tennessee rowing team has finished the season inside the top five in the final CRCA Coaches Poll.
The Lady Vols' No. 5 ranking comes on the heels of another historic campaign in which they secured back-to-back top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships.
Tennessee finished fifth nationally in team standings with 106 points —solidifying the most successful two-year stretch in school history.
In the inaugural SEC rowing season, the Big Orange captured three gold medals. Additionally, they also put up a clean sweep to win the inaugural Rocky Top Invite after earning head-to-head 1V8 wins over No. 3 Washington, No. 6 Princeton, No. 7 Brown and No. 9 Rutgers.
Following another successful season, head coach Kim Cupini was named SEC Coach of the Year while five Tennessee rovers were named 2025 All-SEC honorees.
