The Toreros women are in the first heat at 9:20 a.m. along with defending national champion Wisconsin, which is also the event's defending champion. Whittier Cup finals are at 5:15 p.m. "We lost about half our boat from last year, but we have some strong novices," USO women's coach John Ciani said. "We've improved our time on the practice course. The problem is all the other crews have improved dramatically. "I told our girls to look around at the competition. It's not often that you get to row against a team like Wisconsin." The two-day regatta opens at noon Friday with the men's varsity race featuring USO, San Diego State, Col- umbia and Washington State. Other highlights Friday include the Law Enforcement eights finals (4:30) with teams from the San Diego and San Francisco police departments, Los Angeles Sheriffs Department and Washington State Patrol. Many Olympic hopefuls will be among the competitors in the Women's Elite four finals (5:10). Among the schools represented in the regatta are UCSD, Cal, Stanford, UCLA, Harvard, New Hampshire, Western Ontario and British Colum- bia. Club entrants include rowing clubs throughout the West Coast. Women's team entrants have ex- panded this year to include teams in the masters category. The competi- tion will include one San Diego team, three from San Francisco and seven from Seattle.

~st t .ams in the San Diego Lowen• brau rew Classic that begins Friday n. · ion Bay. More than 2,300 rowers from more than 80 clubs, universities and col- leges in the United States, Canada and Europe will participate in the regatta, which will take place be- tween East Vacation Isle and Fiesta Island. It is the first major event of the crew season. The 2,000-meter course starts at the Atlantis Restaurant and heads north along Fiesta Bay and finishes along Crown Point. The best loca- tions to view the regatta are at Vaca- tion Isle and Crown Point Shores. USO won both the men's and women's Cal Cup varsity eights in last year's regatta, an unprecedented feat, to earn automatic berths in heats of this year's premier events - the Copley and Whittier cups. That's a big step up in class. Flohr put it into perspective: "Last year we (the men's team) won the Cal Cup in 5:57," he said. "Penn won the Copley Cup in about 5:30. Now, 30 seconds isn't a whole lot if you're late to work, but it's a time zone in rowing. "We're going into this really loose. We don't have as strong a team as we did last year. We graduated half of oµr varsity and J teams. But it's
