INDIANAPOLIS - Washington women's rowing will compete at the 2017 NCAA Championships May 26-28 in West Windsor, New Jersey, as the NCAA announced the 22-team field for the regatta today.

The Huskies, under first-year head coach Yasmin Farooq, earned the top seed in each of the three NCAA races. Washington will head to the NCAAs for the 21st time in the 21-year history of the event. The Huskies won the first two NCAA team championships (1997 and 1998), as well as the 2001 title. The Huskies have never finished outside of the top 10 in 20 prior competitions.
