The 1994 Fordham University women's varsity lightweight four was the first Fordham team to win a national championship, winning the Division I National Championship in June of 1994 with three seniors and two sophomores, beating Radcliffe by open water and setting a course record that still stands today. The crew was comprised of Chrissy Idiart-Trinter, FCO '96, Gina Greer, CBA '94, Elaine Heanue-Bogue, FCO '94, and Kathy Spergl, FCO '94, with Sean Gibbons serving as the coxswain and Ted Bonanno as the head coach.
 
Earlier in 1994, the crew finished second at the other three major college races: the San Diego Crew Classic, Dad Vail, and Eastern Sprints. The winning crew at all of these races finished behind Fordham at the National Collegiate Championships in Cincinnati.
 
All members had distinguished rowing careers as individuals at Fordham and went on to outstanding achievements rowing for the New York Athletic Club, including more than a dozen National Titles among them.
