With this weekend’s forecast at the 111th Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships (collegiate rowing’s national title) calling for temperatures nearing 100 degrees, it’s only fitting that Stanford’s Varsity Eight is getting hot at exactly the right time.
At yesterday’s IRA National Championships in Cherry Hill, N.J., the No. 2 Stanford women’s lightweight rowing team took home its first national title, defeating favorite Wisconsin by nearly four seconds.
Today marks the start of the IRA National Championship regatta in Cherry Hill, N.J. Both the Stanford men’s rowing team and women’s lightweight rowing team will compete at the event, which will last three days.
