The Yale lightweights had mixed results at the 2004 EARC Sprints, with the 4th-ranked 2V lights putting on an excellent second thousand push to go from a length down to Princeton and Harvard to winning the silver medal, only 1.3 seconds behind the Crimson, who had beaten the Eli 2V by 8.5 seconds only two weeks before at the HYPs. The 3V 4+ was able to reverse their earlier defeat to Princeton at the HYPs, coming back to beat the Tigers decisively by 5 seconds in the rematch. The 1V’s continued search for more speed was in vain, as the Blue was unable to make an impression in the Grand Final, coming in 6th. The 1F was part of a thrilling heat in the morning, with four crews racing hard for three spots. When the music stopped it was the Elis who were left standing without a seat in the Grand Final, by only 0.6 seconds. Still, the Bulldogs rallied and won the Petite Final in the afternoon.
