Coach Dave Reischman’s Varsity Eight heads for the Cooper River with another date with a top seed looming, along with a third matchup with the Big Red of Cornell. Oh, and let’s not forget Brown, which finished just ahead of SU at the Sprints.
The Orange goes in as the seven seed and is slated to open the day’s racing Thursday morning at 8:00 against the number one Washington Huskies, #6 Brown, #12 Stanford, #13 Cornell and #18 Gonzaga. The Orange has beaten the Big Red twice this season, which, as usual, probably means nothing this time.
The seedings reflect the spots in the final coaches’ poll. See it here courtesy of row2k.com. Sprints winner Harvard is seeded third and tops in heat three. Princeton, which almost caught the Crimson in Worcester, will line up in the next lane, with the four seed.
Second-ranked California leads the seedings in heat two. The Golden Bears have lost only to Washington and hope to repeat what they pulled off a year ago, when they edged the Huskies for the IRA heavyweight title.
The top two in each heat advance to the semi-finals – the rest to the repechages, where the top two in each heat go to the upper tier of the semis on Friday.
JV’s Performance in Sprints Rates Five Seed.
SU’s JV eight impressed with its third place finish at the Eastern Sprints and faces off as the five seed against #2 Harvard, #8 Yale, #11 Dartmouth and #14 UCSD. That’s in the second JV heat scheduled at 9:00.
Top three in each heat go right to the semis. The rest to the repechages.
Frosh Go in as Number Eleven.
The freshman eight goes at 9:45 against #2 Harvard, #5 Navy, #8 Brown, #14 Dartmouth and #17 UCSD. Coach Shawn Bagnall’s group has shown steady improvement, and knocked off Dartmouth in its last race.
Top two go to the semis and the rest to the reps.
Varsity Four at the Top
There’s no coaches' poll for the fours, but the Orange goes in as a top seed, if not THE top seed, lining up in lane three for the first heat at 10:45. Joe DeLeo’s crew won at the Sprints, then demolished Dartmouth a week later in Syracuse. Other crews in the heat are BU, Penn. Harvard and Brown. With four heats in the V4s, the top two in each advance to the semis.
