The Yale lightweights travelled about 700 miles from Friday to Sunday to get in two great days of racing against three Ivy opponents. On Saturday, the Elis defended their hold on the Dodge Cup on the Schuylkill River against Columbia and host Penn, then loaded the trailer and hopped on the bus for a trip to Ithaca to take on the Big Red on their home waters the next day.
Saturday’s racing saw Yale sweep the Dodge Cup regatta, winning all four events on the sunny, windy, yet remarkably calm Schuylkill. Penn was second in all the Dodge Cup races.
On Sunday, the Cayuga Inlet was grayer with intermittent light rain, but with the calmest conditions the Eli have competed in all year. Yale won the varsity, second varsity, and second freshman races, while falling in the first freshman and third varsity races. Results here.
All told, that’s 7 wins out of 9 races for the weekend, or 18-thousand meters in total raced by Y150 this weekend.
