Last Time Out Washington competed in the Pac-10 Championships on May 17 at Lake Natoma in Rancho Cordova, Calif. The crews faced temperatures in the low-100s and blazing sun at race time. The men came out hot, winning the freshman eight race by open water. The Huskies followed that with a matching open-water victory in the varsity four. In the second varsity eight race, Washington managed to get up early, winning the race by eight seats, setting the varsity men up for the second straight UW sweep of the Pac-10 Championships. The varsity eight faced a challenging field, with then-No. 6 Stanford and then-No. 3 Cal lined up in the third and second lanes, respectively. Right off the start, the Huskies were locked in a battle with the Bears and the Cardinal for the top spot. California and Stanford crossed the line almost simultaneously, with the Golden Bears edging Stanford by a bow ball. Washington came in less than half a length behind in third place. The top three crews were separated by just 2.2 seconds. The Huskies finished the champi- onships in second place overall, three points behind Cal. Huskies in the IRA Championships Washington has competed at the IRA regatta 60 times, dating back to 1913. In 1913, the varsity eight took third place overall. The Huskies competed each year 1947-1972, before taking a 20-year hiatus from the regatta. In 1995, Washington returned to the IRA regatta, winning the national title in the second varsity eight and taking bronze in the varsity eight. In 1997, Washington swept the river, winning the eight, second eight and freshman eight races for the first time since 1950. Since 1997, Washington has won titles in the 2001 and 2002 freshman eights, the 2004 and 2005 second varsity eights, the 2006 frosh eight and the 2007 first and second varsity eights. In 2007, the team returned to Seattle with the Ten Eyck trophy for the overall team points winner. Last year, the Huskies’ varsity eight was ranked No. 1 in the country and was undefeated going into the regatta. Washington was heavily favored to win the race, but faltered in the final, losing to Wisconsin by a second and a half. The second varsity eight won the national title, defeating California by nearly two seconds and the dominating freshman eight fell to Cal by just half a second. The varsity four took home the national title, defeating Marist, and the freshman four won its race for the championship, defeating Cal by four and a half seconds. The 2008 edition of the Huskies earned the Ten Eyck trophy for the second straight year, leading the standings with 214 points, seven more than Cal and 23 more than third-place Wisconsin.

The Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta (IRA) is the oldest collegiate rowing championship in the country, and remains the premier event for national rowing honors for college men. The fi rst IRA Regatta, on June 24, 1895, was a four-miler between Columbia, the winner, Cornell and Pennsylvania.

The regatta has grown from that single race in 1895 to include championship competition in eight, four and pair-oared competition at the varsity, second varsity and freshmen levels for both men and women.

The rowing championship is conducted by the Intercollegiate Rowing Associa-tion that was organized at the beginning of the century. It consists of fi ve eastern, traditional rowing schools, the original three schools, Columbia, Cornell and Penn-sylvania, plus Navy and Syracuse. To this day, the Association is comprised of only these fi ve schools and all other colleges participate as invited guests.

Much of the history of the IRA tends to focus on the great crews of Cornell, Navy, Washington and California and their coaches who established impressive winning records at the old regattas at Poughkeepsie and Lake Onondaga.

In 1923, Washington, coached by “Rusty” Callow, became the fi rst Western school to win the IRA, followed by another victory in 1926. When Callow left Seattle to coach at Pennsylvania, he was succeeded by his assistant Al Ulbrickson who continued the Husky winning ways with six IRA titles in 1936, 1937, 1940, 1941 and 1948 and 1950. His freshman, jayvee and varsity crews “swept the river” in 1936, 1937, 1948 and 1950.

After competing in the national championships held annually on Lake Harsha in Cincinnati between 1983 and 1994, the UW returned to the IRA for its 100th an-niversary in 1995. In 1997, the Huskies swept top honors in the three featured races for the fi rst time since 1950.

UW won the varsity eight, junior varsity eight and open four championships in 2007 and captured the Ten Eyck trophy as the overall IRA points winner. Last season, the Huskies won the Ten Eyck trophy again for taking home titles in the varsity four, freshman four and second varsity eight.

Intercol legiate Rowing Associat ion Championships

Prior to 1982 and since 1995, the Intercollegiate Rowing Association winner has been recognized as the national champion. Below are UW’s fi nishes in the IRA Championships. The Huskies won 12 IRA varsity eight national titles.

Men’s National Championships • RACE HISTORY

Varsity Challenge CupPresented to the IRA by Dr. Louis L. Seaman, (Cornell) in 1898, the silver cup goes annually to the college crew winning the Varsity race. Washington (left) won the 2007 race. The Challenge Cup victory was the 12th title overall in the history of the Washington program, dating back to its fi rst victory in 1923.

Kennedy Challenge Cup TrophyThis trophy was originally presented to the IRA in 1899 by Davidson Kennedy (Pennsylvania) to four-oared winners. The trophy is now annually awarded to the winner of the junior varsity race. Washington (right) won the Kennedy Challenge Cup in 2004, 2005, 2007 and again in 2008. It was the Huskies’ 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th all-time victories in Kennedy Cup competition.

In 2005, with a win in the JV Eight, Evan Galloway collected the last of four IRA championship gold medals he won during his career at Washington.
