BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana Rowing concluded the 2026 season with a seventh-place finish at the Big Ten Championships Sunday (May 17) at the Indianapolis Rowing Center on the Eagle Creek Reservoir.
Indiana competed in three grand finals and three petite finals Sunday, its best finishes coming from the Varsity Eight, Varsity Four and Third Varsity Eight crews – all placing sixth overall.
Indiana earned three All-Big Ten awards, as juniors Lilly Murphy, Nico Daly and Laura McCabe repeated their winnings from a season ago. Murphy featured among the conference's best rowers in the first team, while Daly and McCabe placed in the second team. McCabe also represented IU as the program's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award winner.
IU's V8 gave a good race to the other top boats in the conference, finishing just over a second behind a tightly packed field of five other crews. In the Second Varsity Eight petite final, Indiana placed third from lane five to place ninth overall. The Hoosier 4V8 beat Wisconsin head-to-head to earn seventh overall from its petite final.
