The NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships conclude Sunday at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center at Gold River.

Sunday events begin at 8:12 a.m., and the awards ceremony for Division II participants is scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m., and noon for those in Division I. For live results, go to www.ncaa.com/2016-rowing-championship-heat-sheet.

Temperatures for the event are forecast well-above average for late May, as the Sacramento area will see triple digits, said Karl Swanberg, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Sacramento. “We could get a little Delta breeze later in the week, but right now it looks like persistent high pressure over the area and through the upcoming week,” he said. “We’re looking at generally upper 90s.”
