INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.

The 2022 NCAA Rowing National Championship is scheduled for May 27-29 at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Fla., with the University of Central Florida and Nathan Benderson Park Conservancy serving as hosts.
 
The Huskies Varsity Four is seeded 18th, while their Varsity Eight is seeded 20th, and the Northeastern Second Varsity Eight is seeded 22nd. 
 
Northeastern has earned a bid to the NCAA Championships eight straight seasons, and the Huskies are making their 11th appearance overall in program history. Last season, Northeastern placed 19th as a team, with the Huskies’ Varsity Eight and Varsity Four placing 20th while their Second Varsity Eight placed 19th.
