Spring is in the air, which means it’s conference championship time for Ithaca College’s athletic teams. Four teams took home Liberty League Championships in their respective sports this season.
It was a historic first championship for the men’s crew team, as the Bombers captured a first-place finish in the Varsity Eight race with a time of 6:08. The second Varsity Eight team also won their race with a time of 6:22. With the victory in the 1V race, that boat earned automatic qualification into the Division III IRA Championships, which will take place from May 31 to June 2.
The women’s crew team dominated their conference championships, sweeping four events: the first and second Varsity Eight (7:02 and 7:27, respectively), the Varsity Four (8:21), and the Novice Eight (7:41). The Bombers will go on to compete at the NCAA Championships on May 31 and June 1.
