  • Defending national champion Stanford women's rowing had a strong showing in its first race of the 2023-24 season, as its two boats earned second-place divisional finishes respectively in the Women's Championship Eights event at the 2023 Head of the Charles regatta.  The Cardinal sent two boats to the Head of the Charles to compete in the Women's Championship Eights event on the regatta's three-mile race course. Stanford's A boat was designated to the College-Championship division while the B boat was designated to the Junior Varsity division. Each boat earned a second-place finish in their respective divisions and top-14 finishes in the event overall. 
  • The Cardinal made its mark on rowing's biggest stage during the 2023 season, earning its first team national championship since 2009 to cement its status as the top women's rowing program in the country. Highlighted by victories from its varsity eight and second varsity eight crews, Stanford captured its second NCAA championship in school history at the 2023 NCAA Championships held at Cooper River Park, which was also the site of Stanford's first NCAA crown 14 years ago. 
  • Throughout the 2023 season, the Cardinal also captured its second consecutive conference title, swept the Pac-12 Conference's end-of-year awards (Athlete of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, and Coach of the Year), all while Derek Byrnes was named CRCA Division I National Coach of the Year, his staff was named CRCA's Division I Staff of the Year, senior Annabelle Bachmann was named Pac-12 Women's Rowing Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and for the sixth consecutive season, five Cardinal women's rowers were named 2023 Pocock Racing Shells All-Americans. 
  • Stanford next competes at the UVA Invite on Lake Monticello, taking on host Virginia and Yale April 13 and Syracuse April 14. Other attendees include California and Oregon State.
