The heavyweight rowing team wrapped up the 2023 spring at the IRA championship last weekend. The second and third varsity eight boats advanced to the grand finals held on Sunday. The varsity four plus boat made a late push in their race to finish with the bronze medal.

Their efforts are rewarded by being named The Richards Group Athletes of the week.

Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.

Heavyweight Varsity Four
Jessna Brar, Tom Thomas, Will Kalikman, Oscar Lee and Ollie Ellis

The Varsity Four of the Men’s Heavyweight Rowing team finish fifth in time trials. The Friday afternoon semifinals were cancelled due to extreme heat, so the top six crews advanced automatically to the grand finals where the Big Green finished third. Dartmouth was fifth with 500 meters remaining and made a late push for third, beating Florida Tech by just over a second (7:07.869 compared to 7:09.011). Dartmouth was just over a second behind Temple in second (7:06.789) and only three seconds behind California in first (7:04.781). The Heavyweight Rowing team has now medaled at IRA Nationals for three straight years.
