Brown, Cal Qualify in V8s; SU to Reps

Brown and California battled hard in the opening varsity eights heat at the IRA on Lake Natoma this morning, with the Golden Bears edging Bruno by less than a second. Both qualified for the semi-finals. Cornell and Syracuse backed off a bit in the second 1,000 meters to finish third and fourth and get set for the repechage. FIT and Gonzaga trailed.

Harvard, Princeton, Washington and Yale qualified for the semis in the ensuing heats.

V8 Fifth in Petite; Navy wins easily

Navy blasted off the started line and nobody got close in the Petite Final on Lake Quinsigamond this afternoon. Syracuse wound up fifth - eleventh overall.

Cornell and Wisconsin battled for second with the Big Red rowing away at the end. Penn was fourth, then the Orange and Georgetown.

SU's 11th place finish is two spots above it's 13-seed and should secure a spot in the IRA in Sacramento.

Top seed Harvard won the V8 Grand Final easily over Brown and Northeastern.

Men's 3V8 fifth in Petite.

Syracuse's third varsity eight wound up eleventh overall at the Eastern Sprints this afternoon, taking fifth in the Petite Final. The Orange crew was just behind fourth-place Harvard and ahead of Dartmouth. Up front, Yale led for most of the race, but saw Columbia and Cornell blow by in the stretch to take first and second.

The eleventh place finish matches the Orange's seed going in.

SU Women Just Short in Last Try at Big East Title

Notre Dame's' Fighting Irish women's crews did it again on Lake Mercer today, sweeping the major Big East Championship Races. Syracuse's V8 was less than a length behind in the final.

Syracuse's second varsity eight was third, barely a half-second behind Louisville, but Notre Dame had open water on both.

The Orange V4+ was third behind the Irish and the Cardinals. Louisville got a win in the 2V4+ over ND, with Syracuse third. And the Orange 3V8 took second, open water behind the Irish.

The loss to Notre Dame deprives Coach Justin Moore's squad of the hoped-for automatic NCAA bid that goes with the Big East title. And for Syracuse, it is the last racing in the Big East as the Orange moves to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. Eventually they'll see Notre Dame and Louisville in competition there.

All Three SU Crews in Sprints Petites: IRA Invite Looks Good

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.

Orange Takes Two but Big Green Takes Home Packard Cup

They went after it like two crews ranked next to each other and the end result showed that's how they should be compared. Dartmouth's Big Green Varsity Eight overcame a slight SU lead early to edge ahead of the Orange and hang on for a win by less than a second Saturday morning. The race was rowed on the sheltered buoy line along the far side of Onondaga Lake after driving rain and shifting winds blew the crews off the regular course.


Syracuse's Second Varsity Eight, also racing on the buoy line course grabbed the lead off the start and beat Dartmouth by more than a length of open water. The Third Varsity Eights got their race in on the regular course that runs past the boathouse and SU also had an open water win.

Syracuse's Varsity Eight came into the race ranked 15th in the US Rowing Coaches Poll to Dartmouth's 16th. In the EARC seeding poll SU was 13th and Dartmouth 12th. If this close race leaves them in those positions in the final seeding poll they'll face off again next Sunday morning in the morning heat at the Eastern Sprints.

Both Syracuse and Dartmouth will be looking for a strong finish at the Sprints to secure an invitation to the IRA in Sacramento.

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.

3V, 2V and the Varsity 8s for the Colan Cup to follow.

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.

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