BU Sweeps and Takes Conlan Cup: SU Third in V8

Syracuse's Varsity Eight made a fight of it in the first half of the race this morning, but fell back in the third 500, as 13th-ranked Boston University powered to an open water win over #10 Columbia. The 14th-ranked Syracuse eight was open water back of the Lions. The win by BU completed a sweep of the morning's four races on Overpeck Creek, ostensibly a home course for Columbia.

Unofficially, BU finished in 6:00, with Columbia at 6:04 and Syracuse at 6:09.

BU takes the Conlan Cup back to Boston with the win over Syracuse. Coach Dave Reischman has a couple of weeks now to get his squad ready for the only home race of this season, the Packard Cup against Dartmouth.

BU Does It Again in 2V8; Syracuse Second

Boston University, undersroking for the first half of the second varsity eight race, took up the pace and rowed past Syracuse to an open water win. The Orange, which led briefly at the halfway point, wound up open water back with Columbia more than a length of open water behind the Orange.

The Terriers settled off the start at 34 strokes per minute with the Orange at 38. In the third 500 meters, BU took it up to 38 and blasted past Syracuse. It was third win of the morning in three tries for BU. 

Unofficial timing had BU at 6:12, Syracuse at 6:17 and Columbia at 6:25.

BU Takes 3V8 over Columbia;SU Third

Boston University's Third Varsity eight made it two for two, winning the second race of the morning by more than a length over Columbia. Syracuse was third just over a length behind. The Terriers were about even with the Lions off the start but then rowed steadily away, finishing the 2,000 meter course in an unofficial time of 6:11. Columbia was at 6:22 and Syracuse at 6:25.

Terriers Take V4; Orange Second

Boston University's varsity four with cox edged ahead of Syracuse off the start this morning and took an open water lead by the halfway point, then held on to beat the Orange in the opening race of the day. Columbia trailed far behind. The crews raced on Overpeck Creek in Northern New Jersey. The unofficial time for BU was 7:15 with Syracuse at 7:20.

MIDDIES TAKE JV8; SU EDGES CORNELL FOR SECOND

Navy's second varsity eight made it three for three for the Middies in this morning's racing on the Severn River. Navy pulled away to open water in the last 500 meters as Syracuse and Cornell fought stroke-for-stroke for second place. The Orange-Big Red finish was so close that there was no imnediate word on which crew finished first. When it came it was good news for SU - the Orange taking second by what at first was reported as about a bow ball but the offical results show as a length. Official results for all three races courtesy of row2k.com here: http://www.row2k.com/results/resultspage.cfm?UID=5443381&cat=1

  According to Navy's on-line announcer the race was rowed with a steady 15 mph tailwind from the northwest, causing significant swells on the water. SU did not have a boat in the freshman competition.

NAVY TAKES GOES TROPHY; ORANGE WELL BACK IN V8 RACE

Favored Navy won the Goes Trophy this morning with a start-to-finish lead over Cornell, holding off the Big Red in the sprint. Syracuse fell back at the start and never was able to get back into the competition, finishng third. The Midshipmen rowed the body of the race in a tailwind at 36 1/2 spm and had about a half length lead over Cornell at the 1,000 meter mark. The Orange eight was open water behind. Cornell took the beat to 38 early in the last 500 but was not able to catch Navy. The race hd a floating start on an alternate course on the Severn River because of conditions.

NAVY TAKES 3V8; ORANGE SECOND IN OPENING RACE

Navy's Midshipmen grabbed a deck lead over Syracuse off the start and never trailed in the third varsity eight race at Annapolis this morning. Syracuse stayed within about a deck until the halfway point as Cornell slipped back. Navy and SU both rowed the body of the race at 36spm, acording to Navy's internet announcer. The Middies pulled away from SU in the sprint and wound up winning by about a length in an unofficial time of 5:56.6. SU was at 5:59.6 and the Big Red trailed in 6:07.7. Racing was delayed about 20 minutes and moved to an alternate course because of conditions.

UPDATE re: Men's racing Saturday, 4/20/13:

from Coach Dave Reischman:

To anyone planning on calling in or watching the racing this weekend. The weather in Annapolis this weekend is expected to be windy and there is always the possibility of last second schedule or race course changes. I will try to send any changes to our email list to keep everyone informed. Already we have changed the schedule to move the varsity racing a bit earlier in the day to give them the best water opportunity. We will be racing in the first 3 events of the day: 1V, 2V and 3V.

I have received questions in the past about how the decision making process for changing courses and schedules happen for our regular season races. Without fail for my 11 years at Syracuse these decisions have been made with input and agreement from all the head coaches in a particular Cup race. The first consideration is always the safety of our athletes and then the fairness of the racing. The main cups/trophies are decided by the out come of the Varsity Race so getting that race off in the best conditions is the priority.

Already for this weekend we have moved the varsity race up in the schedule in anticipation of building winds throughout the morning. A lot of coaches like to put a lower boat down the course first just to troubleshoot the stake boats and timers to make sure everything is good for the varsity race. The new race schedule is listed below.

Race Schedule
0545 Coxswain Weigh-in
0600 Coxswain Meeting
0700 3V
0720 1V
0740 2V
