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.
