Men's Eastern sprints heat lineups

As of today, it looks like the Men's V8 heat, scheduled for 11:12 on Sunday will look like this:

BRO, SYR, NOR, DAR, GWU, RUT.

Brown is seeded first, our guys sixth, NU seventh. Loyal fans will recall our guys have beaten Northeastern twice so far at the San Diego Crew Classic. Under the expert tutelage of Coach Dave, there's no doubt the Orange are faster - and also no doubt NU is as well.

That's not so say we are conceding anything to top-ranked Brown...

For the eighth-seeded frosh and sixth-seeded JV, we're going to be seeing a lot of Northeastern's red and black on the line (and hopefully from a fine vantage point in front of NU during the racing as well). Their heat lineups are as follows:

JV - 11:12 = BRO, SYR, YAL/BOS, NOR, PEN - there are only five boats, and my GUESS is we'll see either Yale or BU, as they are tied for the seventh seed. Recall that our guys beat BU handily at the Conlan Cup way back in April.

Frosh - 10:36 am = COR, PRI, SYR, WIS, NOR, GWU

SU's Varsity 4 has a Grand-only at 8:30 am on Sunday, and our guys will face off with (you guessed it) Northeastern, Yale lights, MIT lights, and Yale heavies. Make no mistake, despite what the prima donnas tell you, this is where the real rowing is, far from the madding crowd, out of the glare of publicity and away from all the fans. Yes, I am wildly biased...

Go Orange!
