Las Vegas Invitational

Cal men’s and women’s crew both had successful outings at the Las Vegas Invitational and the California Challenge Cup.

The men’s and women’s crew teams have a season of rowing ahead of themselves starting with this full weekend of events: the Las Vegas Invitational and the California Challenge Cup.

Despite the strong winds that caused the postponements of races at both the California Challenge Cup and Las Vegas Invitational, Cal men’s rowing prevailed.

After eight months of preparation, Cal men’s crew is ready to start its spring season with the Lake Las Vegas Invitational and California Challenge Cup.

Cal women’s rowing kicked off its season in victorious fashion last weekend, winning five of six races over two days of competition. Meanwhile, Cal men’s rowing is set for its season opener this weekend against UC San Diego.

Cal is behind in training by its own standards — the blue and gold are just two and a half months into their training due to pandemic-induced restrictions. The Bears were not able to congregate as a full team until recently.

In the Las Vegas Collegiate Invitational and California Challenge Cup, Cal reigned supreme, winning every race with the exception of a Newport beach finale.

After months of waiting, the Cal men’s crew is ready to swing off the start to a jam-packed spring season of rowing ahead.
