Coach Dave Reischman’s Varsity eight jumped out to a deck lead off the start and steadily built to a length by the halfway point of the 2,000 meter race. While Dartmouth made a push with about 750 meters to go, SU held them off to win by about a length and bring the Packard Cup home after a loss at Hanover last year.
Rowing with a slight tailwind in flat conditions, SU covered the course in 5:37.7 with Dartmouth finishing in 5:40.5
JV Comes from Behind to Beat Big Green
The JV fell behind an over-stroking Dartmouth crew in the early going, but kept calm and rowed through by the midway point, the just kept going to win by a length of open water.
SU 5:47.04 Dartmouth 5:53.98
Frosh Eight Starts Fast and Finishes Strong
Coach Shawn Bagnall’s frosh continued to show improvement, jetting out to a lead at the start and holding off any challenge the Big Green freshmen could offer.
Four Plus Walks Away to Win
The Varsity four with cox had the easiest win of the day to complete the sweep. Senior Tim Daigle had moved up to stroke, swapping with Kyle Rogers dropping back to the two seat. Syracuse had at least a length off the start and wound up winning – as they say at Henley – easily.
SU 6:29.94. Dartmouth 6:51.19.
Seniors Honored
After the trophy presentations there were plaques for the graduating seniors on the team. SARA board members Jason Premo and Sheila Roock did the honors.
