In women's rowing, Trinity's crews demonstrated impressive depth at the New England Rowing Championships. The Women's Second Varsity Eight and Third Varsity Eight both secured third-place finishes in their respective Grand Finals, while the Fourth Varsity Eight placed fourth. These results reflect the team's competitive spirit and set the stage for the upcoming National Invitational Rowing Championships and NESCAC Championships on May 9.
The No. 1-ranked men's rowing team continued its dominance at the same championships, capturing titles in both the First and Second Varsity races. The Bantams' 3V and 4V crews also performed admirably, each earning silver medals.

In women's golf, the Bantams finished seventh at the NESCAC Championships held at Taconic Golf Club. Led by CC Kaplan's five-over par 76 on the first day, Trinity showed improvement in the second round with Himena Yamane's seven-over 78. Despite the challenges, the team maintained a competitive presence throughout the tournament, showcasing their potential for future seasons.
Meanwhile, the women's lacrosse team faced a tough semifinal matchup against top-ranked Middlebury College, falling 13-8.
