Racing at the 120th IRA Regatta starts Friday morning on Mercer Lake, with a race for lanes in the Men’s Lightweight 2V event at 8 am, and then it is right into heats for the HWT Varsity National Championship, to be followed by the heats for the Men’s LWT Natty. Heats for the 1Vs contesting the second year of the new D3 Men’s Championship will be mid-morning on Friday, squeezed between the 2V and 3V heats for the D1 teams.
Racing for the Women’s Lightweight national title starts on Saturday. You can go here to see the full three-day schedule, and first round lane assignments.
You can find the schedule, draws, tickets, and rankings here, but of course, racing at the IRA tends to throw seeds out the window, so we suggest just tuning in to see it all unfold live.
How to Watch

Here is a tip we picked up from the timing folks at the NCAAs last week:
If you are checking results on your phone, turn it sideways to display the splits. The new-look timing website has a feature on the mobile version that will switch the view to include splits and lineups if you put your phone on its side. Be sure to click into the individual race to access the feature.
Finally, some storylines we will be tracking in our coverage of the 120th IRA this weekend:
You can find more helpful info, to include the IRA Pick’em and directions for getting to Mercer to watch in person on our IRA Resources page, and that page includes directions on downloading the IRA Championship app to follow results on your phone.
