    • Tiebreaker- Results of Varsity Eight race
  • Lineups:
  • No. 2 Stanford comes off of a decisive overall victory against No. 4 Cal in the Big Row Saturday, May 4, winning every race in the annual rivalry. Competing in a consistent rain on the Peninsula bayshore, Stanford won all five races by at least seven seconds, to complete the regular season and provided an exclamation point in the final home regatta of Stanford's seniors, who were recognized afterward on Senior Day.
  • The Cardinal earned two wins in the Varsity Four and Fourth Varsity Eight, and close margins in all of the rest of the races against No. 2 Texas and No. 12 Virginia at the Longhorn Invite April 27. 
  • No. 1 Stanford made its presence known on the national stage April 13-14, dominating its competitors at the UVA Invite held at Lake Monticello outside of Charlottesville, Va. The Cardinal did not drop a race to its three opponents– No. 5 Yale, No. 8 Syracuse, and No. 11 Virginia– over the two-day regatta. Stanford won all its races by a minimum of two seconds, all the more impressive since all racing was completed in less than 24 hours due to weather forecasts shifting Saturday's racing to the evening. 
  • No. 1 Stanford started its 2024 season off on a strong note, besting No. 17 USC in all races of its season-opening dual at the Port of Los Angeles Friday evening. Stanford's third varsity eight set the pace for the entire regatta, topping USC by a 15-second margin. The Cardinal's varsity four boats raced next, with Stanford's A boat finishing first with a time of 7:18.0 followed by its B boat seven seconds later. USC's A boat came in with a time of 7:40.8 and its B boat crossed the finish line at 8:17.9. The Cardinal wrapped up racing with its second varsity eight and varsity eight boats each earning top finishes against its USC counterparts, each finishing with at least an 18 second-margin on its competitor. 
  • 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.
