"We are happy and excited for the opportunity to race at the IRAs," said lightweight rowing head coach Malcolm Doldron. "Our student-athletes have put in a tremendous amount of work in preparation for this weekend. I think we are racing well and we are excited about this competition."

Boats not finishing in the top 2 spots in heat races will have another chance to advance to the grand final by finishing in the top 2 of the repechage race at 1 p.m.

The varsity four boat will compete in a field of 8 schools. The V4 will compete in its heat at 8:24 a.m. against Stanford, MIT and Radcliffe.

The women's lightweight grand finals will be held on Sunday to determine the national champion. The varsity four is schedule to begin at 8:48 a.m. and the varsity eight at 11:36 a.m.
