The 1V8 and 2V8 boats will start things off with a 1,250-meter race at 3 p.m. CT, followed by the same distance for the 3V8, 4V8 and 5V8 boats and then a 1,000-meter race for the Fours. The same series of races will repeat two more times, with the Eights moving down to a 1,000-meter distance in the second session and then to a 750-meter piece to close out the day.
