The doubles boat of Kiera Mariko Dwan and Stella Sweitzer came out strong in the first race of the day, challenging gold-medalist Boston University in the first 500m. However, the Radcliffe duo fell back of Wisconsin in the second 500 and finished in third with a bronze medal in 7:49.867.

Radcliffe's varsity four, seeded third, got out of the gate slowly, sitting in sixth just 500m into the final. A surge in the second quarter, put the Black & White, stroked by Michaela D'Arcy, in contention for a medal until ultimately finishing fifth in a time of 7:37.186.

Wrapping up the competition was the varsity eight, which chased eventual-champion Princeton all the way to the finish and earned silver medal for the second consecutive year at the IRA National Championship. Stroked by Elle Krywosa, the Black & White crossed the line in a time of 6:44.002.
