Over the weekend, Trojan alumna Ida Gørtz Jacobsen rowed for Cambridge University, which won the 74^th Women's Boat Race.
 
Cambridge defeated Oxford by a five-length margin in the race that occurred on April 7. They finished with an official time of 18:47 to claim their third Boat Race title in a row.
 
This historic competition occurs annually between Cambridge and Oxford and is raced on the 6.8 km Championship Course in London.
 
The Women's Boat Race was founded in 1927, but became a permanent fixture in the annual event in the 1960's.
 
Gørtz Jacobsen, who graduated USC in 2018, was an integral part of the Trojan Varsity Eight throughout her entire collegiate rowing career.
 
She also shined academically and was named the 2018 Pac-12 Women's Rowing Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She double majored in Global Studies and Comparative Literature with a minor in architecture. She was awarded Newnham College's Anna Watkins Studentship, which is a studentship given to graduate students at Cambridge University.
