The Tigers raced through a heat and semi-final pitting them against some of the best crews in the country, ultimately earning them a place in the grand final racing against Marietta College, Fordham University, Boston College, Cal Berkeley, and the University of Pittsburgh.

The Dad Vail champions were stroked by senior, Travis Driscoll; at three seat sat, sophomore, Matt (Duke) Bonaventura; two seat, sophomore, Matt Hebdon; bow seat, junior, Chris Frey; and cox’n, sophomore, Madison Shelestak.
