SU Varsity Battles Washington early in the raceTwo weeks ago a split second loss to Cornell dropped the SU Varsity five spots to number 10 in the US Rowing Collegiate Poll. Syracuse climbed back last week to number seven with a win over Columbia and BU. Now a 9.8 second loss to number one Washington combined with Northeastern’s six second loss to Harvard has moved the Orange up to number six in this week’s poll.
Northeastern, whom Syracuse defeated at the San Diego Crew Classic to open the season, fell from number six to number nine. Washington remains a unanimous number one.
While SU lost by more than a length of open water to Washington, the Orange held off Oxford to take second in the race and gave the Huskies a fight at the start.
“Our goal was to see how long we could hang on to their stern and we did that through the 1000m mark,” Head Coach Dave Reischman said in an email to SU Crew supporters, following the weekend racing. “We had solid rhythm and the guys were throwing everything they had at them. “
The JV also gave Washington’s JV a fight before losing by open water, and easily defeated Oregon State.
The Orange crews compete next at the Eastern Sprints in Worcester, Mass., on Sunday May 16. “I think both crews are looking forward to the next 2 weeks and really striving to see how fast we can go,” Reischman said in the email. “The goal each year is to get better each race so we do our best racing at the Sprints and IRA.”
