Sophomore Martina Sly skippered Stanford's A-division squad with senior Lauren Block serving as crew. The pair finished with just 30 points from 10 races, the second best haul of any team in the regatta.
Stanford also hosted the Cardinal Invite, with two Stanford boats finishing in the top three. Stanford's A-squad, which won the event with 17 points from nine races, featured senior skipper Reinier Eenkema van Dijk, junior skipper Will La Dow, freshman crew Taylor Kirkpatrick, sophomore crew Kathryn Booker and senior crew J.P. Cannistraro.
