Final Results

PHILADELPHIA - The Varsity Eight team finished out the final day of 2022 Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta in third place of the Grand Finals, but it was it was Novice Eight squad that won with ease to open up the medal-earning day for the Temple men's crew program. Four of the five boats earned the top three positions in their respective Grand Finals.

"In what could be considered a "rebuilding year" we were able to put every single athlete into a Dad Vail final for the third time in a row. Every crew but one medaled in their event (with the Freshman 8 scoring a gold!)." said Head Coach Brian Perkins. "We are not happy with colors other than gold, but the men improved in their racing. Given our youth, I am very excited to predict our trajectory in the coming year! "
