Wisconsin defeats Washington to win IRA title CAMDEN, N.J. -- Wisconsin took the lead early on and withstood a late charge by defending champion Washington to win the varsity eight heavyweights at the 106th Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championships on the Cooper River.The Badgers covered the 2,000-meter course in 5 minutes, 31.17 seconds, while the Huskies -- who had not lost in two years -- finished second in 5:32.89. California was third at 5:39.02, followed by Northeastern, Stanford and Columbia. In the finals, Wisconsin took the lead from Washington and California after about 500 meters and then held on for its eighth IRA title overall and first since 1990.

Washington finished with 214 points overall, followed by California (207), Wisconsin (191), Harvard (157) and Brown (150).
