The freshman lightweights led the way for the Yale 150s today on Lake Quinsigamond, completing an undefeated regular season with a sparkling Sprints championship. Yale is the only school to medal in all three Jope Cup events. The 2V and 3V won silver medals, and the varsity eight got back into the medals with a bronze. With all five Y150 crews in the Grand Finals, and with four medals, the day was a successful one, yet not without it’s bittersweet nature: though Yale earned the most points in the Jope Cup – Yale and Cornell each had 33 points – the tie-breaker went to the higher finisher in the varsity race.
