Coach Dave Reischman's Varsity Eight was not about to be beaten by Datrmouth again this morning. After losing by .7 second eight days earlier on Onondaga Lake, the Orange left the Big Green far behind in the first V8. With Harvard and BU out ahead, SU and Wisconsin battled for third with the Badgers taking third by about half length. Both advanced to the Petite Final while Harvard and BU made the Grand Final.
In addition to Wisco, the Orange V8 goes against Cornell, Georgetown, navy and Penn in the Petite.
The guaranteed top 12 finish at the Sprints seems to ensure that Syracuse will get an invitation to the IRA in Sacramento.
SU's JV had to wait to race in the morning heat as Rutgers had breakage at the start line and all crews had to row off and wait for repairs to be made. Once they got going, the Orange grabbed the lead in the start but Brown soon took over and rowed away from the field as SU and Northeastern fought for the second spot. The Huskies got across first, with SU ahead of Columbia, Georgetown and Rutgers.
The Orange 2V goes against the Lions, Cornell, Penn Yale and Navy in the Petite.
Syracuse's third varsity eight was the first Orange crew to race this morning, taking third in its heat about half a length ahead of Harvard. Brown and BU advanced to the Grand Final.
In the Petite the Orange 3V faces Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth and Yale.
