Navy Blue

The Yale Lightweights failed to wrest the Johnson Cup from the Navy Midshipmen on a rough Mercer County course today. The U.S. Naval Academy, the 2004 national champions, won with a wind-blown time of 6:28.8 to Yale’s 6:31.3. Navy swept the Bulldogs, winning every race, the closest being the 2V race, which saw an 8-seat Navy lead evaporate in the last 500, with only a few feet separating the two crews at the finish.
