BELLEVILLE, Mich. \u2013 No. 2 Texas Rowing swept all five of its races against No. 19 Michigan at Belleville Lake Saturday morning. It marks the fourth-straight year Texas has swept Michigan. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Each of Texas’ boats remains undefeated on the season after the Longhorns swept five races at No. 24 Indiana on April 9 and four races at the San Diego Crew Classic on March 28-29.<\/p>\n
“We had another good day, and it was great to see strong performances from every boat,” head coach Dave O’Neill<\/a> said. “Michigan is always one of the best programs in the Big Ten, so we feel pretty good about the results.”<\/p>\n The regatta opened in 40-degree temperatures with a light headwind.<\/p>\n Texas commenced the morning with a victory by the 3v8 in 6:51.300, defeating the Michigan 4v8 (2nd-7:06.500) and Michigan 3v8 (3rd-7:08.800). The Longhorns’ First Four picked up the second win of the day after finishing in a convincing 7:24.600 ahead of Michigan, which clocked in at 7:45.200.<\/p>\n The Texas II Eight brought home a victory after winning in 6:32.100.

Michigan’s 1v8 clocked in at 6:33.100.<\/p>\n “The First Eight was solid, and they been really consistent in everything they do. Marg Van der Wal<\/a> switched sides earlier in the semester, and she’s looking really good at race pace. I give her a lot of credit for handling the adversity and making the change.”<\/p>\n In the final race of the regatta, the Texas Second Four secured the clean sweep with a first-place finish in 7:25.900 while Michigan finished second in 7:30.800.<\/p>\n “This has been a terrific trip, and the team is coming together very well.
