A race against Stanford is always important. They have a great team this year. |
I am really proud of the nine seniors. I know they will give great effort. |
I have mixed feelings. It feels good to win three out of four races, but it is clear that we could have done a better job against a formidable opponent like Washington. |
The expectation is to do the best we can. We have been training really hard, and now we're going to be tested by three great programs. |
The varsity eight was down after 500 meters, but they made a big push and came back. |
This race will be a little emotional. This will be a really special race for them. They will want to go out in style, but Stanford will be tough. |
We are going to use that race as an opportunity for final preparation before championship races. |
We were fortunate to have another chance (against the Badgers). And the second varsity made use of it. |
When Cal races Washington it is always a big deal. There is definitely a rivalry. |
