The Pioneer men's crew team won the first Conference championship for any Lewis & Clark rowing team since rowing became a varsity sport at the College. The team earned the title at the NCRC Championships on April 21 at Lake Stevens, Wash. Victories for the men's novice 8, novice 4, and second novice 4 as well as a third-place finish for the varsity 8 helped the Pioneers earn the team points total and the Conference title. At the WIRA championships the following week, the novice men again had a strong showing with top-ten finishes for the varisty pair (fifth) and novice 4 (ninth).

The women's team didn't quite live up to the previous year's success. The team came into the season ranked #13 in the nation, but fought against injuries and other obstacles all season. The varisty 8 finished fifth at the NCRC Championships. The team only had two other boats competing, the varsity pair, who finished fourth, and the novice four with a fifth-place finish.
