- LAST TIME OUT » Top-ranked Stanford defeated No. 9 California on Saturday, May 3 at the annual Big Row at Redwood Shores, sweeping all five boats in its final regular-season event. Both varsity four boats cruised to victory to begin the morning, with Stanford’s second varsity four (7:51.8) posting a faster time than California’s first varsity four (7:53.5). The only time Stanford has posted a wider margin of victory in the varsity fours this year came against Virginia on April 13, also at Redwood Shores. Things continued strong for the Cardinal in the first varsity eight, with a 15-second win over the Golden Bears. The second varsity eights held the largest margin of victory (18.4 seconds) for the varsity eights. Stanford’s third varsity eight closed out the morning with a 2.7-second win, securing the sweep of California.
- 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.
- Fall Racing Recap » Stanford Women’s Rowing closed its fall racing schedule Sunday morning, sending 10 boats to compete at the annual San Diego Fall Classic on Mission Bay in San Diego.
- Stanford sent four eights boats: “No Name”, “Elle Logan”, “Sam Magee”, and “Attacker”, five fours boats: “Thunderdome”, “Wild Card”, “Amigos”, “IB”, and “Academic Weapon”, and one quad boat.
- The Cardinal’s four eights boats earned four of the top six finishes in the Women’s Open 8+ race, with “No Name” finishing first, "Elle Logan" second, "Sam Magee" third, and "Attacker" placing sixth. Stanford bested crews from UC Irvine, Cal Poly, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and the University of San Diego.
- Stanford’s quad boat placed first in the Women’s Masters 4x race, topping crews from Rio Salado Rowing Club, Newport Aquatic Center, Channel Islands Rowing Club, San Diego Rowing Club and Community Rowing of San Diego.
- The day ended with the Cardinal’s five fours boats recording the top five finishes in the Women’s Open 4+. “Thunderdome” placed first, followed by "Amigos", "Wild Card", "Academic Weapon" and "IB" with the second, third, fourth and fifth-place finishes, respectively.
- 2024: Year in Review » The Cardinal continued its reign as one of the nation’s best rowing teams throughout the 2024 season, winning its third straight Pac-12 Championship and registering its fourth consecutive top-two finish and seventh top-six finish at the National Championships in so many years.
- Second Varsity Eight National Champions » Stanford enters the 2025 season off its second consecutive national championship win in the second varsity eight races. Seven of the nine athletes in the boat return to the Cardinal's 2025 roster.
- UP NEXT » No. 1 Stanford will await its selection to the 2025 NCAA Championship Regatta, held at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J. 22 teams will qualify for the competition, with automatic bids awarded to conference champions from nine conferences (Atlantic-10, ACC, Big-12, Big Ten, Coastal Athletic Association, Ivy League, MAAC, Patriot League, West Coast Conference) and 13 at-large selections made by the NCAA Divison I Rowing Committee. The selection show for the annual championship event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 20 at 2 p.m. PT on NCAA.com.
