Goes Cup Information

The SU Men will travel to Annapolis to take on Navy and Cornell for the Goes Cup Trophy. Logistics for this race are a bit tricky. Here's the word from Coach Dave Reischman:

If you have never been to race at the Naval Academy you need to be aware that there are security measures in place for entering the Naval Academy grounds. YOU MUST SHOW A PHOTO ID.

In addition, this year Navy is remodeling their boathouse and they have changed the race course due to the opening day of the rockfish season. We are going to use what they call the “Upper Course.” This course is considered by visiting coaches to be the fairest option available but it makes it more difficult on spectators.

The race schedule for this Saturday, April 17, is as follows:


6:45 am Varsity

7:00 am Junior Varsity

7:15 am Freshman


You will need two sets of directions: One to the Naval Academy where we will be launching from and one to view the racing. The spectator viewing is on a private estate by the finishing line. EVERYONE NEEDS TO RESPECT THAT THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. Be careful with your parking, be quiet, and pick up trash.

Directions for viewing are attached along with a map of the race course, and a parking map for the Naval Academy Grounds. (please click on the images below to enlarge)

Listed below are recommended directions from the Naval Academy Coaching Staff to enter the Academy grounds.
