NCAA DIII Field is Set

The DIII field for the 2024 NCAA Rowing Championship has been set. Eight programs will contest two events, first and second varsity eights, for the national championship on May 31-June 1 in Bethel, OH.

Four teams earned automatic qualifying bids by winning their conference championships, making up Pool A:

• Liberty League: Ithaca
• Mid-Atlantic Rowing Conference: St. Mary’s College of Maryland
• New England Small College Athletic Conference: Tufts
• New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference: Smith

Following the completion of the regular season, four more teams were selected from Pool B/C, which includes “independents, institutions from conferences that do not meet automatic-qualification standards and those Pool A institutions that do not receive their conference’s automatic qualification,” according to the 2024 NCAA Pre-Championship Manual. Additionally, each of the four regions, Mid-Atlantic, New England, New York, and Pacific, must be represented at the championships via an automatic-qualifier or the top-ranked team in the region.

Those four additional teams, announced on May 14th via the selection show, are:

• Puget Sound
• Trinity (Connecticut)
• Wesleyan (Connecticut)
• Williams
