STANFORD, Calif. – No. 6 Stanford will battle with No. 2 Cal in the 82nd Big Row this Saturday at Redwood Shores.
The day’s events will start with a women’s alumni race between the two schools at 9:20 a.m. The Cardinal openweights will get started with the varsity four at 9:50 a.m. The 2V8 will go at 10:10 a.m. and the varsity eight at 10:30 a.m. The day will conclude with the 2V4 race at 11 a.m.
Last season at the Big Row, Stanford won the top three boat races for the first time since 2009. The only Cardinal win in that time span was the 2V8 in 2011. In 2014, Stanford put on an impressive show leading into the Pac-12 Championships.
This year the two schools have already raced against each other once when they were in the same race with Brown at the Lake Natoma Invitational. Cal finished ahead of Stanford in both the varsity eight (4.6 seconds) and 2V8 races (9.8 seconds). The Cardinal varsity four beat out the Golden Bears by 4.1 seconds. Those races were three weeks ago on April 12.
Stanford hasn’t raced in the last three weeks and has continued training. The varsity eight has looked good with wins in five of its seven races, including wins over No. 2 Virginia, No. 8 Washington, No. 16 Notre Dame and No. 16 Washington State.
