The 2024 NCAA DII rowing championship will begin with selections on Tuesday, May 21 and continue through championship weekend, which runs May 31-June 1 at East Fork and Harsha Lake in Bethel, Ohio.
The DII women’s rowing championships will provide for a maximum field of six teams in two events, requiring an Eight and a Four with a coxswain from each institution. One team will be selected from each of the three regions and three teams shall be selected at-large. Selected teams will be allotted two spare student-athlete positions and five non-athlete travel-party members; thus, a total of 16 student-athletes and five non-athlete travel-party members will travel with each selected team.
