(April 21) The Yale Lightweights went north to Hanover today, and came back with three wins out of four, but could not return the Durand Cup to Derby in the varsity race. The 1F led off the regatta with a good performance in a decent but not overpowering headwind, followed by the 2V with a similar row over their Big Green counterparts. The varsity race saw a talented Dartmouth crew handle nearly everything about the race better than the Eli, who suffered their first defeat of the 2012 campaign. The 3V 4+s were next, and the Yale ‘A’ four emerged on top of that contest, defeating both Dartmouth and Yale ‘B’.
