SU wins V4 at men's eastern sprints

The day started out on a winning note for the Orange as the V4 dominated their final with a convincing win. I'm standing at the trailer as the Yale 4 congratulates the guys on their win. The margin was a ten second gap, with the guys sprinting to test their race plan for the upcoming IRAs.

Crews in the race with the Orange included the afore mentioned Yale, Northeastern, MIT, Princeton and Yale lights. There were two 4+ grands, with the other race mostly frosh crews. No medal, but shirts are always awarded at the Sprints.

The guys rowed the start at a 44 before settling to a 37 then to a 33 for the body.

Coach Joe DeLeo was pleased with his guys, saying "they executed the race plan well, there's more speed in the boat that we'll have to get out if we're going to excel at the IRAs."

Conditions are great. Light tail, 65 and sunny in Worcester.

Next up, freshman eights...
