Beavers Split Weekend Pac-10 Races
April 24, 2005
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Oregon State, which returned to Redwood City for the second time this season, had mixed results in Saturday's races with the Beavers' ninth-ranked Varsity 8 falling to No. 5 Stanford and recovering to knock off UCLA.
OSU finished seven seconds behind Stanford with a time of 5:56 but bounced back to defeat the Bruins by 24-seconds in a lopsided race.
The Beavers' Novice 8 rowed to a pair of victories in close races cruising past Stanford by five seconds in a time of 6:11 and then getting past UCLA by nine seconds with a time of 6:24.
OSU's JV 8 managed a split, similar to that of the varsity boat, against the weekend's foes. A time of 6:06 was four seconds too slow against the Cardinal. The Beavers beat UCLA by 16 seconds when they finished in 6:18.
The Beavers are back in action next weekend at Seattle, Wash. when they face No. 3 Washington.
