About the regatta
The 2024 IRA regatta will be held at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, NJ and will feature Division 3 racing on Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st. This will be the 121st running of the regatta and the third consecutive one to host a D3 championship.
About the competitors
At the conclusion of the regional championships no one is left undefeated at the top of the heavyweight men’s division, with promise of extremely tight heats and semi finals for crews attempting to get to the grand finale on Sunday morning. Harvard lightweights have had their way at the varsity level throughout the spring and capped that off with a wire to wire win at the Eastern Sprints. Meanwhile, the lightweight women’s division seems to be dominated by Princeton but other programs have shown significant depth in the four and double which should make the competition extremely interesting.
