Colby's women's crew team took second place in the NCAA Division III national women's rowing championship in Indianapolis in the first weekend in June. The varsity eight boat finished fourth and the junior varsity finished seventh to give Colby 11 points in the Division III points trophy results. Williams finished first in Division III, followed by Colby and William Smith (N.Y.), which came in third.

"Things went very, very well for us," said Coach Stewart Stokes. "It's a great accomplishment for the women's crew and the entire Colby crew program. It was the first-ever NCAA Division III women's rowing championship so it was a rather historic day, and for Colby to be second overall was great."
