Gopher Rowing Rewind
Minnesota celebrated a successful return to the water in 2021 after waiting more than a year to compete due to COVID-19 public health concerns. The Gophers closed out the season with a sixth-place finish at the Big Ten championships as Lauren Burrows-Cheng (First Team) and Lindsay Eliasen (Second Team) earned All-Big Ten honors -- Burrows-Cheng was also a 2021 Division I Pocock All-America Honorable Mention as selected by the CRCA. The Maroon & Gold climbed the Pocock/CRCA Division I Rankings all the way to No. 14 for the program's highest national ranking since 2008. The Gophers also celebrated a new program record with 42 Academic All-Big Ten honorees and set a new team record with a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (the fifth-straight semester the team has improved its performance in the classroom).
