The University of Washington men's varsity crew won its heat this morning in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta on the Copper River in Cherry Hill, N.J.
The Huskies rowed the 2,000-meter course in 5 minutes, 35.951 seconds. Brown was second in 5:36.656 followed by Syracuse, Purdue, Holy Cross and Dartmouth.
The top-ranked and undefeated Huskies advance to Friday's semifinals. Six crews will compete in Saturday's national championship.
Washington last won the national championship in 1997.
Later this afternoon, the UW freshman eight won its heat and the Husky junior-varsity eight was second to Brown in its heat. The UW open four was second to Princeton.
