Chased Performance

October, 28

The Yale varsity completed its brief fall schedule with the 3-Mile Chase in Princeton with a performance that was an exercise in new seats for new people. With the largest squad in years (four eights of oarsmen), the lightweights have to sort out the many athletes competing for seats in the top three eights. Aside from the pairs, which finished first, third, fourth, and fifth in the small boat section of the regatta, the results themselves were all over the place. One eight in the HWT event finished 10th, and the three Yale eights in the LWT event finished 7th, 16th, and 26th. In the LWT 4+, again with the mixed results: 8th, 9th, and 23rd. Full results here. The next race for the squad is a freshman-only regatta, the Belly of the Carnegie, on Sunday November 11.
