Twenty-two teams will qualify for the 2022 NCAA Women's DI Rowing Championships next month, eleven conference champions (AQ), then eleven teams will qualify via at-large bids. Here we try to break out what has happened so far, who has the inside track for selection, and who is in range to qualify but have some work to do.
At-large bids are based on the overall team performance of the 1V8, 2V8, and 1V4 events. Also of note, these are projections based on racing through April 24, and row2k is not part of the NCAA selection committee.
For this we will break out teams into three groups, roughly defined as:
GROUP A
Group A teams are basically locks for qualification by either winning their conference championship or by at-large bid. This group has a few conferences with multiple teams. Then for the rest we have made our picks for each conference champion based off results so far, though obviously those teams will still need to win at their championship regatta to win the AQ spot.
These AQ winners and top-ranked teams who might just miss AQ will give us 15 teams:
AMERICAN - Southern Methodist
ATLANTIC 10 - Massachusetts OR Rhode Island*
ACC - Syracuse
BIG TEN - Michigan
BIG 12 - Texas
COLONIAL - Northeastern OR Drexel*
IVY - Brown, Princeton, Yale
MAAC - Jacksonville
PAC-12 - Cal, Stanford, Washington
PATRIOT - Boston OR Navy OR Georgetown*
WCC – Gonzaga
*Only the winner from these conferences likely to qualify for NCAA by AQ selection
GROUP B
Group B teams are not quite locks for an at-large bid at this point, but are in a good position to qualify based on results so far. These 5 Group B schools will put the field at 20 schools, teams listed alphabetically:
