Cardinals Set to Open Fall Season at Music City Head Race

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville rowing team will open the 2024-25 season at the Music City Head Race on Saturday. The eighth annual regatta will take place on the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tenn.

The Cardinals will field a total of 11 boats in the regatta with a trio of varsity eights getting the day started at 9:10 a.m. (ET). The morning will continue at 10:15 a.m. with a boat in the Novice 8+ race.

Saturday afternoon will feature six Louisville boats in the Women's Collegiate 4+ race with the Women's Collegiate 2x at 3:55 p.m. concluding the day.

"First time at this race and we are excited to get this show on the road," said UofL coach Derek Copeland. "Fall racing is a different game altogether and it'll be fun to see the team participate in these races. They had a pretty good summer and have welcomed 22 newcomers and a dozen novices from campus. The upperclassmen have done a great job showing this young group the way as we've nearly doubled our squad size from last year. The future is bright and it is time to see if the future is fast as well."
