Coach Dave Reischman’s Varsity battled with the big boys at the Eastern Sprints, finishing fifth in the Grand Final and avenging an earlier loss to Boston University.
Harvard’s top-seeded Crimson completed a sweep with a length victory over Princeton, with Wisconsin, Brown, SU and BU following.
The six-seeded Orange rowed the race in the outside lane, as Harvard blew out to an early lead, gave it up for a few strokes to Brown and then steadily built the lead. Princeton and Wisconsin got by Brown in the last part of the race and all three were within a length of Harvard. SU was a length or so back, edging BU in sixth.
Harvard 5:40.38 Princeton 5:42.37 Wisconsin 5:42.50 Brown 5:43.59 SU 5:47.10 BU 5:48.75
JV Comes from Behind to Medal
Syracuse’s JV Eight rallied from last place halfway through the Grand Final and rowed into third place, holding off Princeton in the sprint for the first SU medal at the Eastern Sprints in ages. Harvard won the race, with Wisconsin a length back and then the Orange and Tigers charging right behind.
SU went in as the seven seed and may have given the impression early in the final that it was out of gas after the morning heat. No such thing. The Orange powered back with about 500 meters to go, rowing past Yale, Brown and Princeton and into third, just running out of water before catching the Badgers.
The Orangemen sat up and slapped hands when it was over. A celebration SU is hoping to see more of.
Harvard 5:49.13 Wisconsin 5: 52.52 SU 5:53. 18 Princeton 5:54.32 Brown 5:57.31 Yale 5:58.99
Men's Frosh 4th in Petites
The SU Frosh came into the EARC Sprints seeded tenth and that’s where they wound up, although Coach Shawn Bagnall’s eight gave it a fight in the Petite Finals, finishing half a length behind second place Wisconsin and less than a second behind third place Yale. Brown was the Petite winner.
Brown 6:02.40 Wisconsin 6:06.09 Yale 6:06.85 SU 6:07.71 Columbia 6:10.20 Dartmouth 6:13.09
Harvard’s frosh won the Grand Final easily, with Princeton taking silver and Northeastern bronze.
