American Collegiate Rowing Association Poll

April 22, 2008

This is the third 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.

After a strong win in the SIRA Regatta the University of Virginia return to the top spot in Men's Varsity 8 poll with the University of Michigan #2. Also claiming a first place vote is #4 Orange Coast College.

In the Women's Varsity 8 Purdue University takes the #1 ranking with all first place votes after another impressive win this weekend at the SIRA Regatta.

The University of California continues its reign atop the Men's Lightweight 8 poll. The University of Delaware and Fordham University round out the Top 3 and received three first place votes each. Virginia Tech has replaced the University of California as the #1 ranked Women's Lightweight 8.

The next regular season poll will be released on April 30, 2008.
