Orange Varsity Eight Fifth at IRA – Best Finish in Reischman Era



Syracuse’s varsity eight came into the season rated 15th in the Coaches Poll in a year many thought would be rebuilding for Coach Dave Reischman. Reischman does not believe in rebuilding and his charges late this morning proved they belong among the best, finishing fifth in the Grand Final of the IRA.

Top-seed Washington won it all, beating East Coast powers Brown and Harvard by a length or so. Cal was fourth with SU next a length back and Boston University in the sixth spot, 2/3 of a length farther back. SU improved its best finish in this century by one slot. Two years ago the Orange finished sixth in the Grand Final.
