SARASOTA, Fla. — The Wisconsin women's rowing team competed against top boats from around the country on day one of the 2025 Big Ten Invitational at Nathan Benderson Park.

The top finisher for Wisconsin was its third varsity four squad, who came in third place behind Minnesota and UCLA in its second race of the day. 

Each of UW's seven boats raced once in the morning and once in the afternoon, with many increasing their speed in the afternoon races. Among the top finishers was the Badgers' first varsity four boat, which improved on its morning race time by eight seconds in the afternoon. The varsity eight boat also improved its time by six seconds in its second race of the day.

Up Next: The Badgers wrap up their weekend in Florida with day two of the B1G Invite on Saturday, April 19. The regatta will stream free on RHStv. Live results can also be found here.
