SU Varsity Faces Familiar Foes in Rep: Frosh Too




Repechage #2 for Varsity Eights this afternoon looks a lot like a compilation of the Syracuse Season. After finishing fifth in the morning heat, the Orange will go against Cornell, Dartmouth, BU, Yale and UCSD. The top three move to the semi-finals.

Syracuse beat Cornell in Ithaca and again at the Eastern Sprints, but trailed the Big Red this morning. The Orange lost to BU at home and then defeated the Terriers in the Sprints. SU beat Dartmouth in Syracuse a couple of weeks ago.

SU is the top seed in the repechages at #7, but the fifth place finish this morning consigns the Orange to lane five. Cornell has lane three and Yale, lane four.

The rep is set for 2:15.

The freshman eight goes in repechage #2 at 3:00, up against Penn, Wisconsin, BU, Columbia and Dartmouth. Top three go to the semis - the rest to the third level. The Orange frosh lost to BU March 22 in a 1,000 meter race in awful conditions in Syracuse and beat Dartmouth eleven days ago also at home after beating the Big Green and Columbia in the petite finals of the Eastern Sprints the week before. Wisconsin finished ahead of the Orange in that petite.
