The Knecht Cup

Stanford lightweight rowing completed its time at The Knecht Cup with the top finish in the lightweight 8+ race to bring home the Danielle Kousoulis Memorial Trophy alongside a fifth-place finish in the lightweight 4+ Grand Final.

The Cardinal raced in the lightweight 4+ prelims heats on Saturday. Stanford finished with a time of 8:08.74; fourth in its heat and seventh overall.

Stanford's 4+ boat was slated to compete in Sunday's petite final, but due to scratches from three boats, the Cardinal earned a spot to participate in the event's grand final. With the opportunity to compete for the 4+ trophy, Stanford finished two seconds faster than its preliminary heat mark in the grand final to finish fifth overall.

The highlight of Stanford's efforts at The Knecht Cup was the lightweight 8+ boat's first-place finish in the Danielle Kousoulis Memorial Trophy race. The Cardinal finished with a time of 6:42.11 and topped MIT, Boston University, and Radcliff for the win.
