Western Washington women win NCAA Division II rowing title

The Western Washington women’s rowing team won the program’s eighth NCAA Division II national championship, edging out Central Oklahoma Sunday morning on Lake Mercer in West Windsor, N.J.

The Vikings, led by 19th-year head coach John Fuchs, returned to the top of the podium for the first time since a streak of seven consecutive national championships from 2005-2011. The championship was also the 11th team title in WWU athletics history, and the second during the 2016-17 season joining the women’s soccer team.

WWU scored 17 team points, one better than Central Oklahoma (16).

Cooper is ranked a four-star prospect by Scout.com, and is considered the 25th-best quarterback in the 2018 recruiting cycle.
