Michigan didn't have to worry about any tornadoes Sunday at the San Diego Crew Classic, but the Wolverines might have fared better against the wind than they did against No. 1 Washington.
The Huskies placed first in both the first varsity-eight and the second varsity-eight races. Michigan finished second in the two races, staying surprisingly close to the defending national champions.
"It was a really good showing," Michigan coach Mark Rothstein said. "I'm pleased with where we finished. (The Huskies) are within reach, and they're the team to beat."
The Wolverines' time of 6:31.43 in the varsity-eight was 3.33 seconds slower than the Huskies in the 2,000- meter regatta. Northeastern, Radcliffe, Wisconsin and Oregon State rounded out the final of the 12-team field.
In the second varsity-eight race, Michigan finished 5.84 seconds behind Washington.
