Championship racing proceeds this weekend with the continuation of the USRowing Youth Series with the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Youth Championships and the Dad Vail Regatta in Pennsauken, NJ. In one of the final dual races of the collegiate season, the #3 BU lightweight women will take on #4 Stanford in Redwood Shores, CA.

Streaming service Overnght soon will broadcast IRA and USRowing regattas in bid to reach a broader audience.

The May 7th ACRA poll was released today without significant changes from last week. Virginia and Vanderbilt remain in the top spot on the men's and women's varsity eight polls, while Purdue and UC Santa Barbara retained first place rankings for the men's and women's novice eights.

The junior racing season kicked into high gear with the first events of the USRowing Youth series taking place this past weekend. On the collegiate side, the Princeton heavyweight men completed an undefeated regular season in both the first and second varsity eights, while the Washington men and women came away with wins at Opening Day.
