GOLD RIVER, Calif. – No. 14 Stanford men’s rowing totaled 52 points as a team to place third at the Pac-12 Men’s Rowing Championships Sunday at Lake Natoma. No. 2 California (72 points) and No. 4 Washington (65 points) claimed the top two spots in the conference regatta.
At the conclusion of the regatta, the conference honored senior Landon Alecxih with the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.
Stanford’s top three finish in the Pac-12 Championships earned the Cardinal a spot in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships in West Windsor, New Jersey, June 3-5.
“First, I couldn’t be more proud of Landon Alecxih winning the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year award,” Stanford head men’s rowing coach Craig Amerkhanian said. “That is a tremendous accomplishment. We have had a number of conference scholar-athlete of the years in this program. This is an honor we all take great pride in. On Sunday, we faced two very tough international crews in Cal and Washington. We held our own for the first half of the course and will build on this experience. We secured a spot in the IRA’s, which is something we set out to do today."
In the varsity eight race, California and Washington surged ahead in the first 500 meters with Stanford solidly in third place. The Cardinal was a length of open water back of second-place Washington and a length of open water ahead of fourth-place Oregon State at the midpoint of the course. Stanford completed the course in 5:56.1 to finish bow-to-stern ahead of the Beavers for third place. California claimed the Gold with a time of 5:39.8, while Washington took home the Silver with a time of 5:41.9.
Stanford opened the second varsity eight race in third place, but quickly began to push the top three boats. By 750 meters, the Cardinal pulled within three seats of third-place Oregon State. Stanford continued its charge and surged its bow ahead of Oregon State just past the midpoint of the course. Stanford created separation from the Beavers, securing the Bronze with a time of 6:02.0. California (5:48.0) took home the Gold with an open water win over Washington (5:52.3).
Stanford began the third varsity eight race in fourth, one seat of open water ahead of Colorado after 500 meters. The Cardinal continued to separate itself from the Buffaloes, creating three lengths of open water by the midpoint of the course. Oregon State held on to third with an open-water advantage over Stanford (6:22.9). Washington captured the Gold with a time of 5:51.9, while California (5:58.0) took home the silver and the Beavers (6:04.5) took the Bronze.
