American Collegiate Rowing Association Poll
May 14, 2008
|
|
This is the sixth coach's poll for the American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA). The ACRA has divided the country into six regions: North East, Mid-Atlantic, South, Great Lakes, Plains, and West. The weekly ACRA poll can have as many as, but not more than, 3 voters from each of the 6 regions for a total of 18 ballots.
The University of Michigan reclaims first place in the Men's Varsity 8 poll after a strong showing at the NICR. Purdue takes over #2 with their second Dad Vail Championship in two years and Orange Coast College rounds out the Top 3. In the Women's Varsity 8 Purdue University continues its run atop the polls.
The Lightweight polls benefited from a great championship race in the Dad Vail where the Top 4 crews finally met each other in one race. Fordham University came out on top with a very impressive win over #2 Delaware, #3 Georgia Tech, and #4 California. Virginia Tech remains #1 in the Women's Lightweight poll.
In the Freshman/Novice Men's polls the University of Delaware and Orange Coast College are separated by only 10 points with Coast edging Delaware for first overall. Congratulations to both crews on their recent championships at the NIRC and Dad Vail. In the Women's Freshman/Novice poll Grand Valley State University finished out a dominant season with a Dad Vail championship to holds steady at #1.
The last regular season poll will be released on May 21, 2008.
