2V and 1F complete undefeated regular seasons with HYP victories

(April 28) Two #1 ranked crews showed today why they deserved the top seed for the EARC Sprints, but one #1 was toppled here on the very fast Housatonic River in Derby. In brisk tailwind conditions, the Yale 2V completed its season with a strong win over Princeton and Harvard, while the Yale freshmen, in a classic HYP battle between three unbeaten squads, emerged from the scrape and across the finish line first.
In the Goldthwait Cup, it was Harvard for the third year in a row, with Princeton second and Yale third.  
The 3V also fell to Harvard but finished ahead of Princeton, who had two heavyweights in the squad due to injury. 
The Vogel Cup, donated in honor of long-time Yale lightweight coach David H. Vogel ‘71 by alumni and friends, is a points trophy nearly unique in that it includes the results from all 5 races in the regatta, not just the Jope Cup races. Harvard won the Cup, with 35 points to Yale’s 28 and Princeton’s 21.
The next regatta for the Elis will be the EARC Sprints on May 13 on Lake Quinsigamond.
