UCLA Rowing Opens Spring Season with Rivalry Regatta Friday
March 05, 2026 | Women's Rowing
LOS ANGELES – UCLA women's rowing will open its spring racing season hosting crosstown rival USC on Friday, March 6, in Marina del Rey (The address at Ballona Creek is 14001 Fiji Way, Marina del Rey, zip code 90292.)
Races begin at 9:05 a.m. PT on Friday; six races are planned for the day. The 4V8+ and Novice 8+ shells will head out first, starting off the morning of competition. The first four-person boats launch with the 3V4+ racing at 9:25 a.m. PT. The 2V4+ and 1V4+ follow the third varsity four at 9:45 and 10:05, respectively. Focus shifts back to the eight-person shells with the 2V8+ at 10:25 a.m. PT; the day will conclude with the 1V8+ going off at 10:45 a.m. PT.
There will be 23 points available in the six races Friday in pursuit of the Amy Fuller Kearney-Lori Guerro Azbill Trophy. The trophy honors former UCLA head coach Amy Fuller Kearney, who led the program from its NCAA inaugural season in 2001-02 through 2020-21, and former USC assistant coach Lori Guerro Azbill. The winning team will be presented the Amy Fuller Kearney-Lori Guerro Azbill Trophy for the UCLA-USC competition immediately after the meet.
UCLA starts its season with a dual-meet regatta against the Trojans for the fourth time in five years; the Bruins and Trojans began the 2022, 2023 and 2025 campaigns with head-to-head rivalry matchups. The Bruins seek their first victory over USC since 2021, when UCLA swept three races against the Trojans.
