Eight seed Syracuse won a four-way battle for second place
in the first varsity eight repechage at the IRA this afternoon and qualified
for tomorrow’s semifinals. Cal broke out to an early lead of a length and
cruised home while behind the Golden Bears Syracuse, Stanford, Northeastern and Yale
fought for the other two spots in the semis. It was tight all the way down the
course.
The Orange wound up less than .2 seconds ahead of Yale which
edged Stanford by about half a second for the third spot in the semis.
Northeastern was another .4 seconds behind with Drexel well off the pace.
V8 in First Semi Friday
The Orange - in Lane One - are scheduled to take on Princeton, Brown, Harvard, Cornell and Penn in the first of two varsity eight semifinals Friday at 12:15. Brown and Harvard are the top seeds in what turns out to be an all-Eastern Semi. The top three finishers go to Saturday's Grand Final and the rest to the Petite.
JV Advances to Semis
Syracuse's JV also was second in its rep to move on to the semis. The Orange battled Navy to the wire but the Middies managed to hold them off. Penn was third to take the final spot in the semis.
The Orange also is slated for Lane One in that one, facing Princeton, Washington, Harvard, Navy and Stanford. Washington and Harvard are the top seeds in the semi. It is scheduled for 11:45.
Frosh Just Short of Semis.
Syracuse's freshman eight finished fourth in its repechage Thursday afternoon and did not qualify for the semifinals. The crew is set to race in the 3rd Level Final at 9:25 Saturday morning.
