The Varsity 4+ will see multiple entries throughout the day. Humboldt's Varsity 4+ crew will race at 8:30 a.m. in Lane 3, and return to the water at 10:30 a.m. in Lane 1.

In the Varsity 8+, Humboldt will compete twice, beginning with the first race at 8:45 a.m. in Lane 2. The Lumberjacks will close out the day in the Varsity 8+ at 10:45 a.m., occupying Lane 1.

The Second Varsity 8+ is scheduled for 10:15 a.m., with Humboldt set to race in Lane 2.

The regatta includes a scheduled break at 9:00 a.m. before racing resumes mid-morning.

This weekend marks an important early-season opportunity for Humboldt to evaluate lineups and build momentum against GNAC competition as the Lumberjacks continue their 2026 campaign.
