Notes

• Races will be streamed live on the @umichrowing Instagram page with commentary from former Wolverine and 2019 Big Ten champion Perry Bower.

• This weekend marks the second of two home events for the Wolverines, and the U-M program's Senior Day. Zara Collisson, Annaka Draaisma, Ainslie Evans, Delaney Evans, Aubrey Fitts, Brooke Gietzen, Adelaide Lammers, Lauren Langley, Sarah McKay, Olivia McMullen, Rocky Morabito, Emily Nelson, Rachel Palaian, Ariana Shokoohi, and Margaret Vander Woude and their families will be honored on the deck of the Michigan Boathouse after races.

• U-M will have two varsity eights, four varsity fours, two novice eights and one mixed eight in action on Saturday, representing more than 60 athletes in competition. Michigan and Texas are expected to race head-to-head across the first and second varsity eight, and first and second varsity four events.

• This is Texas' third trip to Ann Arbor (2021, '22) following Michigan's trek to Austin last spring (2023). The perennial powers have competed at least once in each regular season dating to 2019 on Lake Las Vegas.

• The Wolverines remain at No. 9 in the latest edition of the Pocock/CRCA Coaches poll. U-M is the top-ranked Big Ten program and one of four Big Ten teams in the top 20 overall (No. 12 Ohio State, No. 15 Rutgers, No. 16 Indiana).

• Michigan's first varsity eight was named Big Ten Boat of the Week earlier this month following head-to-head wins over No. 11 Virginia (6:35.5; +7.4) and No. 15 Duke (6:40.4; +10.0) at the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

• More than 20 athletes competed as Wolverines for the first time during the season opener in Columbus and another four debuted in a sweep against the Spartans last weekend.
