STANFORD, Calif. - Second-ranked Stanford Lightweight rowing will travel to Lake Natoma this Saturday seeking to capture its fifth straight title at the Pacific Coast Rowing Championships.

The Cardinal I Eight, four-time defending champion at the event, is coming off of a victory last weekend at the WIRA Championships and is already looking ahead to defending its national title at the IRA Championships in June.

Stanford will join schools such as USC and Sacramento State at this weekend's PCRC Championships, then will have three weeks off before competing at the IRAs.
