REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. – The No. 2-ranked Washington men's rowing team won all seven of its races Saturday, beating No. 6 Northeastern in four races before winning three out of three against No. 13 Stanford.
 
The UW beat Northeastern in the first, second and third varsity eights, as well as the varsity four. In the afternoon, the first and second varsity eights beat Stanford, while Washington's freshman eight won against the Cardinal third varsity crew.
 
"Solid racing today by the whole team," UW head coach Michael Callahan said. "Gaining experience across multiple boat classes is important at this point in the season. We did that today. It was exciting to race the East Coast Northeastern Huskies out on the West Coast."
 
Huskies vs. Northeastern
Washington opened the morning with a victory over Northeastern in the men's varsity eight. With sophomore Adam Gold in the coxswain seat and senior Elijah Maesner stroking, the Huskies beat the Boston-based crew by just over seven seconds, winning in a time of 5:40.08, with Northeastern crossing the line in 5:47.36.
 
The Huskies followed that with a similar margin in the second varsity eight race. Coxed by Kira Lewis and stroked by Peter Lancashire, both sophomores, the Huskies' 2V won the race by open water, with a time of 5:49.08, with Northeastern finishing in 5:55.95.
 
Washington's third varsity eight continued the morning with a victory over the Huskies from Boston. Senior coxswain Kimmons Wilson and junior stroke Cole Zwierzynski led the UW to the win. Washington finished with a time of 5:57.30 while NU crossed in 6:05.78.
 
In the final race of the morning session, the Huskies varsity four turned in the most impressive victory of the four, outdistancing the Northeastern four by more than 30 second. Coxed by Isabel Klein and stroked by senior Evan Olson, the UW crew won the race with a time of 6:30.40 while Northeastern finished in 7:04.40.
 
Huskies vs. Stanford
After a break, the teams returns to action in the afternoon as the Huskies took on Stanford (who had rowed in the morning vs. Oregon State) in three races.
 
In the first race of the afternoon, the Washington freshmen eight, in their first action of the day, rowed to a victory over the host Cardinal's third varsity eight, which beat OSU earlier in the day. Coxswain Thomas Wenk and stroke Matt Condrin led the UW freshmen to a comfortable win, as the Huskies finished in 6:07.5, 28 seconds ahead of the Cardinal (6:35.3).
 
Washington's second varsity eight followed suit with a win over the Cardinal in the second race of the afternoon. With U.S. Under-23 National Team rower Chase Deitner in the bow seat, the Huskies rowed to a 25-second victory, finishing in a time of 5:55.6. Stanford finished in 6:21.4.
 
The day concluded with the Huskies' varsity eight earning its second win the of the day. The veteran crew, led by senior captain Ben Davison in the six seat, crossed the line in 5:52.7. Stanford recorded a time of 6:06.1. With the win, the UW retained the Andrea and Everett Peter Paup Cup, named in honor of former UW and Stanford coxswain Pete Paup, a U.S. Marine veteran who finished second in the coxed pair at the 1956 U.S. Olympic Trials and went on to become chairman and president of Manson Construction Company.

About Washington Rowing
Rowing at University of Washington was established in 1901 with support from the local business community. In 1903, Washington entered its first intercollegiate race and defeated California, starting their storied "Cal Dual" rivalry. From this beginning, UW crews became the champions in the nation, winning the Gold Medal in the Olympics in 1936 as described in the New York Times bestseller The Boys in the Boat. UW has continued its tradition of winning championships and Olympic medals, and today is one of the best university rowing programs in the world. With its state-of-the-art training facility located on the UW campus right on the shores of Lake Washington, surrounded by mountains and in close proximity to the iconic Montlake Cut, Washington Rowing attracts the best men and women student-athletes from the Pacific Northwest and around the world.
