Larkin Sayre and Laura Foster make the step up from the victorious reserve Blondie boat in 2018.
Lily Lindsay, Sophie Deans and Kate Horvat all rowed together at Yale, and join forces again for Cambridge.
Denmark international Ida Gortz Jacobsen will be in the No 7 seat, and behind her will be former GB rower Pippa Whittaker. Hugh Spaughton will cox the crew.
