2000 Pac-10 Rowing Championships

Prediction for Varsity Women's Eight Final

May 14, 2000

Only the first 1000 meters from this morning's heats are being mixed here in this pre-race analysis. Today Cal's first 500 meter time was 2 seconds faster than Washington's and they were in separate heats in calm conditions and neither one was pushed. By contrast, in their dual race 2 weeks ago in similar flat conditions at Redwood Shores, Cal's first 500m time was 0.12 seconds faster than Washington's and they were essentially even at the 1000. It was in the 3rd 500m interval that Washington moved out on Cal. The question for this afternoon's final is whether Cal has found new first 500m speed sufficient to give it a significant lead over Washington that Cal can then use to hold Washington off in the 3rd and 4th 500 meter intervals.

All times reported are this morning's heat splits for the first 1000 meters only.
