In the men's pairs, former Washington Huskies Giuseppe Lanzone and Alex Hearne finished just 0.19 seconds behind first semifinal winners Micah Boyd and Ted Farwell to advance, while the UW's Sam Burns and Bryan Volpenhein finished third in the other semifinal to also advance.
Former Huskies rowers Brett Newlin, Kyle Larson Scott Gault and Matt Deakin all failed to advance from the men's pairs semifinals.
