On a swift but flat-water Connecticut River in Hanover today, the Yale lightweights retained the Durand Cup for the eleventh straight year, besting second place Rutgers by 6.9 seconds and host Dartmouth by 8.3 seconds. The 2V also posted a narrow 0.75 second win over Dartmouth, and the 1F and 3V 4+ won as well. In Yale’s only loss of the day, the combination 2F/3V eight lost to Rutgers in a real see-saw classic, 5:49.9 to 5:50.4. For full results, click here.
