The Princeton Heavyweight and Lightweight Men raced the Eastern Sprints this past weekend and came away with some solid results, and some work to do before the IRA Championships.

This year marked the first time that Freshman were allowed to race in crews other than the Freshman eight.  With their entire squad mixed in, the Tigers were entered in the Varsity, Second Varsity, Third Varsity, and Fourth Varsity.  In the first final of the day, the Heavyweight Tigers came away with a win in the Fourth Varsity.  The Third Varsity narrowly missed the medals dock finishing fourth and just edged out by Navy.  The Second Varsity was in a battle with Brown the whole way down the course and crossed the finish line in second place to Brown.  The Tiger Varsity finished just off the podium in fourth place to Harvard, Brown and Northeastern.  You can find a nice write-up on the day HERE at goprincetontigers.com

On the Lightweight side of things, Princeton came away with some strong finishes in a very tight field of crews.  The Lightweight Tigers finished fourth in the third Varsity 4, sixth in the Third Varsity 8, fifth in the Freshman 8, third in the 2V 8, and fifth in the Varsity 8.  A full recap of the racing can be found HERE, courtesy of goprincetontigers.com

This past weekend saw our Tiger squads away in action across the Ivy League. 

The Heavyweight Men’s squad traveled to Columbia to race for the historic Child’s Cup against Penn and Columbia.  The Heavyweight Men were able to win all their races and retain the Child’s cup.  It was very competitive racing across the board with tight margins in the 1V race.  For a full recap of the race, we would encourage you to see the nice write-up published on goprincetontigers.com.  A summary of results and a photo gallery can be found courtesy of Row2k.com.

The Lightweight men were in action against Cornell up in Ithaca where they fell to Cornell in the Platt and Harriet Cups.  After some hard fought races, the Tigers will return to Princeton and will work to improve their base rhythm in an attempt to improve their speed heading into the Wood-Hammond Cup next week against Penn and Georgetown.  A recap of the races can be found HERE on goprincetontigers.com.  Results are posted HERE on Row2k.com.

The Open Women also traveled to Ithaca to race Cornell and Harvard in the Class of 1975 Cup.  The Lady Tigers fell to Harvard in the Varsity Eight and the Varsity 4 in some exciting and well fought races, but were able to win the day in the Second Varsity, Second 4, 3V Eight and 4V Eight.  The most exciting race of the weekend proved to be the 4V eight where all 3 crews were level going into the last 500m of the race.  The Tigers were able to pull away from the field in the last 500m to secure victory.  For a recap of the days racing you can tune in HERE at goprincetontigers.com.  Results of all the races are posted HERE on row2k.com.
