(March 29) The winter that just won’t die continued on Saturday, this time coming up with a late November cross-headwind and soaking rain that left spectators and oarsmen alike drenched with Central New Jersey flavor. Both squads endured the challenging conditions at the finish line launching site at Lake Carnegie as best they could before getting ready to race in the 11th year of the Eads Johnson Jr. Cup. The first race saw two Naval Academy crews soundly defeat a Yale combination crew, but after that it was Yale who rowed to success in the first 2000 meter racing for both squads. The Yale 1V, 2V, and 1F were able to get ahead early and then survive many challenges from Navy all the way down the course. Yale wins the Johnson Cup for the 4th year in a row, and now has an overall 7-4 record in the series. Next week the Elis take on Georgetown at home. No weather report is available at this time.
