Rowing to Take Part in Stanford Invitational Crew Classic

April 13, 2006

The Clemson rowing team will take part in the 2006 Stanford Invitational Crew Classic this weekend at Redwood Shores, CA. The Tigers will compete in multiple races against crews from Stanford, UCLA, and Washington State. It will be the final preparation for next weekend’s ACC Championship.

The Tigers will begin their competition on Friday, April 14 at 3:00 PM in a varsity 8+ race against host Stanford. Those two schools will also compete against each other in the second varsity 8+ at 3:30 and in the varsity 4+ at 4:00 on Friday. Clemson’s first day of competition will conclude with the novice 8+ racing against UCLA at 4:40.

On Saturday, the Tigers get underway in the varsity 8+ at 9:50 AM against UCLA. The Bruins and Tigers will also face each other in the second varsity 8+ at 10:20 and varsity 4+ at 10:50.

Clemson and Washington State will face each other in the novice 8+ at 11:20 AM and in the varsity 8+ at 2:20 PM. The crews will go at it in the second varsity 8+ at 2:50, and in the varsity 4+ at 3:20.

The Tiger program had a successful West Coast visit last spring. Clemson achieved a first for the program when the novice 8+ defeated national power Washington, giving the Tigers their first-ever victory over the Huskies.
