POUGHKEEPSIE, NY - The Marist men's rowing third varsity eight achieved a top 25 national ranking for the second consecutive week. Rankings are decided on by a select group of coaches representing the Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association (IRCA).

Marist's 3V8 achieved a national ranking of 22 last week and 23 this week against other 3V8s nationwide. The ranking comes from substantial victories over MIT and Bates, a close finish against Temple in week 4, and a strong second-place finish to the Marist 2V8 in the JV eights this past weekend at the Spring METS regatta.

The Marist third varsity eight consists of Evie Disque (cox), Jack Taddei (stroke), Dylan Kresge (7), Mason Roy (6), Nolan Keane (5), Nicholas Fracasso (4), Matthias Topping (3), Dante Karaiskos (2), and Drew Ngo (bow) with week 1 and 2 contributions from Peter Martinich (4).

Coach's Comments: "The Marist 3rd Varsity is having a great season, and we really love the aggression and commitment they have shown in their racing each weekend. This crew illustrates the depth of potential speed in our current team, and we are excited to see how these athletes will continue to develop in the years to come!" - Men's Rowing Head Coach, Campbell Woods

The Marist Third Varsity Eight, alongside the rest of the Marist men's rowing team, will next compete at their conference championship at the NIRC Regatta on May 11 in Worcester, MA.
