USC Rowing Travels to Lake Natoma for Pac-12 Championships

LOS ANGELES – The USC women's rowing team travels to Sacramento, Calif., to race in the 2024 Pac-12 Championship on May 19 on the waters of Lake Natoma. The Trojans will enter boats in four categories: the Varsity Four, the Third Varsity Eight, the Second Varsity Eight, and the Varsity Eight. 
 
In the 2023 Pac-12 Championship, USC came home with two fourth-place finishes, one fifth-place finish, and a seventh-place finish. The Varsity Eight and the Varsity Four finished fourth, the Second Varsity Eight finished fifth, the Third Varsity Eight finished seventh, and the team placed fourth overall.  
 
The Trojans will race against Pac-12 Boats from Oregon State, Stanford, Cal, UCLA, Washington, and Washington State. The Third Varsity Eight will begin the day for USC at 9:32 a.m. PT, followed by the Varsity Four at 10:02 a.m. PT, the Second Varsity Eight will race at 10:22 a.m. PT, the Varsity Eight at 10:42 a.m. PT, and to close out the championship, the awards ceremony at 11:00 a.m. PT. 
 
Points are awarded to each boat based on category and finish to calculate the overall place of the teams. The point system breakdown is listed below. 
 
In 2022-23, USC made its second of back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Championships and finished 16th with 42 points. The Women of Troy claimed a fourth-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships and had junior Zoe McCutcheon named to the All-Conference Team. The Trojans swept crosstown rival UCLA in the annual rivalry dual to open the spring and improved to 20-1 all-time in head-to-head meetings with the Bruins. USC was ranked for much of the season in the Pocock CRCA Poll.
