NCAA champion Brown women's crew to meet President Bush

Brown’s women’s crew is going to the White House.

The 2007 NCAA Division I rowing champions will join eight other NCAA championship teams at a White House ceremony Friday afternoon. The Bears will be the first collegiate team from Rhode Island to be recognized at a White House ceremony. Co-captains Rachel Dearborn and Elizabeth Fison, 2007 graduates, will meet with President Bush in the East Wing and then join their teammates on the South Lawn for the public ceremony.

Brown won its fifth NCAA women’s rowing championship May 27 at Oak Ridge, Tenn. The team could not attend a similar White House ceremony on June 28 because it departed that day for the Royal Henley Regatta in England.
