THE CHAMPIONSHIPS: The Cal mens crew travels to Sacramento to compete at the Pac-10 Rowing Championships May 17 on Lake Natoma. The one-day racing format will include early morning qualifying heats followed by afternoon finals in each of the events.
GOLDEN BEAR OUTLOOK: The Bears are in the hunt for the varsity title as they garner the No 2 seed. The No. 1-seeded Washington Huskies are the only crew to finish ahead of the Cal this season. Cal placed second behind Washington at the San Diego Crew Classic to open the season April 5. In the two crews only other meeting this year, the Bears suffered breakage and were not able to finish the race.
The Bears JV and freshman crews did post wins over their counterparts from Washington, however. The Cal JV outdistanced its rival by four seconds while the Bear frosh bested the Huskies by a half length. Both the JV and the frosh boats remain undefeated on the season and are the No. 1 seeds at the Pac-10 championships in their respective events.
