SEATTLE – The Washington men's rowing team swept all three races Saturday morning in the annual dual regatta vs. Oregon State.
 
The Huskies won the first, second and third varsity eight races on Montlake Cut.
 
The varsity eight race was the most compelling of the morning as the two teams remained in contention throughout much of the race. Oregon State's crew started strong, but the Huskies responded and quickly edged in front, taking an eight-seat lead by 1,000 meters.
 
Washington steadily built on that lead in the second half of the race and rowed to a win with a time of 5:49.251. The OSU varsity crew finished a little less than seven seconds back, in 5:56.013, about one length of open water back.
 
The UW second varsity eight capitalized on a strong start to establish an open-water lead in the first quarter of the race. That Husky crew, made up entirely of freshman oarsmen, crossed the finish line with a time of 5:54.032. Oregon State's second eight finished in 6:10.548.
 
Washington entered two crews in the third varsity eight race. From the start, the Huskies' "A" entry moved into the lead with OSU and the UW "B" close behind.
 
The UW "A" crew finished with a time of 6:00.447, a couple of lengths of open water ahead of the Huskies' other boat, which crossed in 6:11.544. OSU was third, with a final time of 6:22.392.

"The team executed well today," said UW head coach Michael Callahan. "We're looking to carry that momentum to our race next weekend." 
 
Next Saturday, April 20, the Huskies travel to Redwood Shores in northern California for the UW-Cal Dual Regatta.
