- WATCH OUT » Three Cardinal were named to watch lists prior to the start of spring racing.
- Senior rower Iris Klok was named to the 2025 Preseason ACC Rowing Watch List. The ACC Watch List consists of one student-athlete from each program, nominated by their respective schools. The ACC is the only conference with a preseason rowing watch list. Klok enters her senior season after three incredibly successful seasons with the Cardinal, including three conference championships and an NCAA team and boat championship in 2023. The Pac-12's 2022 Newcomer of the Year has spent two seasons in Stanford's Varsity Eight Boat (2022, 2024) and a year in the Cardinal's Second Varsity Eight Boat (2023) and is fresh off a junior campaign that included CRCA First Team All-America honors. The Amsterdam native boasts an impressive collegiate rowing resume that she'll look to continue in the Cardinal's inaugural season in the ACC.
- Stanford women's rowing placed two athletes on the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA)'s 2025 Athletes to Watch List. Senior Julietta Camahort and junior Célia Dupré were two of 23 athletes nationally to be recognized by the coaches association, and Stanford was one of only seven schools to have more than one athlete added to the list.
- Dupré rejoins the Cardinal after spending a year training and competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics. The Plan-les-ouates, Geneva, native earned a fourth-place finish at the summer games as a part of Switzerland's Quadruple Sculls boat. In her freshman season at Stanford, Dupré was a part of the varsity eight boat that secured the Cardinal's first national championship title (team and boat) since 2009.
- Camahort enters her senior campaign with the Cardinal after a junior season that saw her earn an NCAA boat title with the second varsity eight boat and a runner-up team finish at the 2024 NCAA Championships. She was also critical in Stanford's third consecutive Pac-12 Championship team win as part of the Cardinal's second varsity eight boat, recording the program's first conference championship in the second varsity eight boat since 2014.
