The first varsity eight won its grand final at the National Invitational Rowing Championships for the first time ever and the Bates men's rowing team celebrated a perfect and historic day Friday on Lake Quinsigamond.

With the first varsity eight racing to the finish in 5:41.384, the Bobcats edged Marist (5:42.320) and perennial foe Hobart (5:43.680) in the grand final to qualify for the Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championship Regatta, to be held at Mercer Lake in Princeton, N.J., June 1-3. By defeating NESCAC rivals Williams, Tufts and Wesleyan, Bates won the NESCAC Championship for the second straight year and for the third time since 2015.
