Dead Heat in Durand

The Yale lightweight varsity went to Hanover to race Dartmouth to decide the 2010 winner of the Durand Cup, and 2000 meters later, the only decision was no decision as to the winner. The finish line judges could not decide, the referee could not decide, the coaches could not decide, the video told no definitive tale, and thus a legendary race was born. With Yale down for most of the race by 3/4 of a length, the Durand Cup looked like it would be Dartmouth’s. But the Elis mounted a furious rally in the last quarter, and well, you know how it looked at the finish. Dead level.
Yale won all the sub-varsity races, which included close contests in the 2V race, between Yale’s 3V and Dartmouth’s 2V, and a one-second decision in Yale’s favor in the 1F race. Full results here.
