The final seedings for this weekend's IRA are out and the SU Varsity finds itself in the ten slot. The opening heat for the varsity will include Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, BU and Penn.SU is in lane five. The heat is set at 8:15.
SU's varsity rose as high as #5 in the US Rowing Collegiate Poll after the San Diego Crew Classic, slipped to tenth after a split second loss to Cornell, then got back to #6 before the Eastern Sprints. But an overall eighth at the Sprints dropped SU back to tenth and the tight loss at Dartmouth the next weekend kept the Orange there.
JV Also Seeded #10
For the JV it's Brown, Cornell, Yale and Penn. SU again is in lane five in the heat scheduled at 8:45.
The JV (2V) went into the Sprints seeded sixth but fell victim to a surging Northeastern crew in the morning heat and wound up losing the petite final to Yale by less than a tenth of a second. Add in the West Coast crews and the Orange JV gets that ten seed.
SU's won over Dartmouth's JV the week after the Sprints.
Frosh Draw Harvard, Cornell, Columbia
The freshman eight is seeded #11 - which sets up a heat that includes Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Penn and Dartmouth. The Orange again is in lane five and the heat is scheduled at 9:30.
The freshmen went into the Sprints as the eight seed and wound up 9th overall. They hadn't raced much prior to that as the conditions canceled the Goes Cup freshman event, leaving only a competition with BU and Columbia. The frosh were third in that one although they moved into Columbia in the sprint. SU defeated Dartmouth handily the week after the Sprints.
