AUSTIN, Texas -- No. 1 Stanford completed five races against No. 2 Texas at the Longhorn Invitational Saturday morning.
The Cardinal opened its morning with a win against the Longhorns, as Stanford's fourth varsity eight topped Texas' boat by a 15-second margin. The win over the Longhorns was powered by a strong start as Stanford had an eight-second lead on its competitor at the 1000m mark.
Stanford then raced Texas' first varsity eight boat, falling to the Longhorns by less than three seconds. The race was close throughout, as just .6 seconds separated the two boats after 1000m.
The third race of the day was the second varsity eight boat, where Texas took the title by a six-second margin.
The Cardinal came out on top in the fourth race of the day, as Stanford's varsity four boat bested Texas' by three seconds. Stanford overcame a second deficit after 1000m to top the Longhorns at the end of the 2000m race.
In the final race of the day, the Cardinal raced the Longhorns and the Virginia Cavaliers' third varsity eight boats and earned a second-place finish. Stanford led after 1000m, but Texas stormed ahead to secure the victory in the final seconds of the race.
Stanford returns home for its final race of the regular season, competing in the annual Big Row against No. 4 California May 4 at Redwood Shores.
