Yale wins medals in every event:
one gold, one silver, three bronze
(May 11) The 2003 Sprints was marked by upsets galore as only two lightweight top-seeds were able to retain their ranking on a windy day. Yale was the only school to win a medal in every event. In the varsity, Princeton pulled off the upset, with Yale, Columbia, and Harvard fighting for the remaining two medals, and when the music stopped it was Columbia second, Yale third, and Harvard fourth. Yale pulled off a dramatic come-back in the 2V race, coming back from three-quarters open water down to close to within a deck length of front-runner Princeton. Yale’s 1F got the bronze behind Navy and Princeton, and the 2F also won bronze behind Navy and Cornell. The 3V won the gold after a great battle with Cornell. This win is senior Will Perkins’ ‘03 third Sprints gold medal. For full results, click here.
