When you give another crew a 30 second head start in a 2,000 meter race it's just about impossible to catch up, even when the oarsmen average ten years older in that other crew. Syracuse's alumni eight with cox (Joe Peter, of course) made up all but a length or so on Cornell this morning, passing Cal in the process, but couldn't quite catch the Big Red.
Cal, averaging 62 years old, got an eight second start and the Orange rowed past the silver-haired Golden Bears at about the halfway point. SU was the youngest crew in the 3-boat event, averaging 59 years of age. The Big Red averaged 69.
