Men’s junior varsity race at 11 a.m., women’s junior varsity at 11:20 a.m., men’s varsity race at noon and women’s varsity at 12:20 p.m.
It is Canadian university rowing’s answer to the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race. Just substitute the Gorge for the Thames and the Vikes and Thunderbirds for the Dark Blues and Light Blues.
The men’s junior varsity race is at 11 a.m., women’s junior varsity at 11:20 a.m., men’s varsity race at noon and women’s varsity at 12:20 p.m. The UVic Vikes women’s program produced Tokyo Olympic-medallists Avalon Wasteneys and Caileigh Filmer and could have up to four Vikes alumni in the Canadian boats at Paris 2024.The UVic program hasn’t waned with the Vikes winning the Canadian women’s university championship this season. The Vikes hold a 24-5 edge over the Thunderbirds in the female Brown Cup varsity race and are defending champions.
The UVic Vikes men’s program needs little introduction internationally for Canada with Olympic gold-medallist alumni Dean Crawford, Grant Main, Kevin Neufeld, Derek Porter, John Wallace, Darren Barber, Andy Crosby, Bruce Robertson, Adam Kreek and Kevin Light. UVic leads the men’s varsity Brown Cup 20-9 all-time but it’s the Thunderbirds who won last year and are the holders of the Cup, to provide all the motivation the Vikes will need Saturday.
