The Syracuse men’s eight took third in the Copley Cup Grand Final at the San Diego Crew Classic this morning, trailing Cal and Brown, and beating BU, Northeastern and Stanford.
Cal in lane one roared off the starting line at 46 strokes-per minute with the other five crews battling to stay in contact. The Golden Bears rowed the whole race at a high pace after settling at 38. As Stanford fell back, the other four crews spent much of the race just about dead even.
Brown took a shot at Cal at one point but could not get back into it and the Golden Bears won by open water in 5:49.50. At one point it appeared that BU had edged ahead of Syracuse but the Orange fought back, putting on a move in the second 1,000 and while they were not able to catch Brown, they did get pretty close. Brown finished in 5:53.63, SU in 5:56.22 and BU in 5:59.36 with Northeastern just behind the Terriers in 6:00.69. Stanford finished in 6:03.85.
