Yale wins the IRA National Championship for collegiate lightweight eights for the second time in three years, completing a perfect season undefeated in eights racing. Yale finished the IRA a deck length ahead of silver medalist Navy and just 1.66 seconds off of the Cooper River course record.
Congratulations to the 2002 National Champions!
The Class of 2002 finishes their Yale career with two varsity Sprints championships and one freshman Sprints championship, two National championships, a Henley Royal Regatta title, and two Head of the Charles lightweight eight titles. Captain Ian Malloch ‘02 and Andrew Liverman ‘02 never lost a regular season lightweight race in four years, and the only two losses of their whole career were by a combined total of 0.93 seconds. Wesley Ng ‘02 completes his second straight undefeated season, last year as stroke of the JV, and this year as the two seat in the varsity eight.
WELL ROWED 2002!
