Returning for a 13th year, GoTerriers.com will once again count down the top 12 achievements of Boston University teams and student-athletes from the previous year. Check back each Tuesday and Friday as we reveal this year's Terrier Twelve.

 

Coming in at No. 7 is lightweight rowing winning gold in the double scull and silver in the varsity four at the IRA National Championship Regatta. 
 
In the first grand final of the IRA Regatta, Kathryn Grabowski and Grace Beery raced for a national championship in the lightweight women's double scull against Stanford, Princeton, Gordon College, Wisconsin and Oklahoma City.
 
The Terriers got off to a very aggressive start and opened a full-length lead at the 500 meter mark with Oklahoma City in second. Stanford overtook Oklahoma City over the second 500 meters and made a push for the lead at the midpoint of the race, but the Terriers answered and solidified their lead. The Terries continued to extend the lead throughout the second half and cruised to victory with a time of 9:08.72, well ahead of second-place Stanford (9:27.15) and third-place Oklahoma City (9:32.73). 
 
With the victory, Grace Beery became the first two-time IRA gold medalist in BU history, leading BU to its third IRA National Championship in the double. BU previously won the 2x IRA title in 2019 and 2016.  
 
In addition to the double taking gold, the BU varsity four boat earned the silver medal competing against Stanford and Wisconsin to finish as National Runners-Up. 
 
The V4, made up of Antonella Kugler, Delaney Bernier, Karsen Healy, Tamara Gelfman and Catharine Griskowitz, got out to an early lead in the first 500 meters. Stanford however caught the Terriers and took the lead over the next 500 meters. The Terriers could not catch Stanford over the final half of the race, and the Cardinal took home gold with a time of 8.23.74 with BU in second (8:32.78) and Wisconsin a distant third (9:13.75).
