  • The Pac-12 Challenge will also serve as Stanford Women's Rowing's senior day, with a post regatta ceremony scheduled to honor the Cardinal careers of Brie Perry, Katelin Gildersleeve, Jill Weldon, Annabelle Bachmann, Rachel Miller, Regan McDonnell, Lucy Black, Kela Leamy, Azja Czajkowski and Sophie Dixon. 
  • Last time out: No. 2 Stanford had a fantastic day on the water Saturday, topping rival No. 6 California in the 1V8, 2V8, 3V8, and V4+ in the annual Big Row dual at Redwood Shores.  
  • In its second competition of the season, No. 2 Stanford had a successful weekend racing at the 2023 Big Ten Invite April 7-8, finishing first in all but one race throughout the two-day event in Sarasota, Fla. 
  • No. 2 Stanford recorded a strong showing in its season-opening races at the 2023 San Diego Crew Classic Sunday. The Cardinal recorded four runner-up finishes to No. 1 Texas after impressive top heats finishes on Saturday. The Cardinal's closest finish of the day was in the race for the Jackie Ann Stitt Hungness Trophy, as Stanford's second varsity eight boat finished just 1.722 seconds behind the Longhorns' boat. In three of the four final races, Stanford finished within two seconds of the eventual winner. 
  • Stanford comes off one its best seasons in recent history, earning the program's first Pac-12 Championship since 2014 and its second straight runner-up finish at the 2022 NCAA Championships. The Cardinal returns six members of its varsity eight boat that also earned a second-place finish at the national championships.
