Sprints frosh petites - 'Cuse takes third
Our guys were fourth nearing 500 gone after a good start, well up on Penn and Yale. Wisco at a 36 with Navy a 37 while SU was down around 35. Somehow Wisco took it up to a 40 at 800 gone. They kept it at 38 and held onto Brown thru the 1000; that rating may seem high but the tailwind is growing in strength.
SU pressed hard in the third 500, moving into the leading crews, and challenged the leaders with a tremendous move across the 1500, making up about a length. Wisco won in a time of 5:48.9 Brown second 5:49 SU 5:51.
Remember this crew has race very little this year due to scheduling and weather. The result was a photo finish, and our guys acquitted themselves admirably. The conditions were tough and so was the crew.
