4/12/2011 – It’s a Sweep — 4 of 6 Blue Crews win it all last weekend

 

Folks …
 
It was a very good weekend of racing for the Blue Crews with Yale LWs, Yale HWs, Navy HWs and Yale Women sweeping all races in their respective regattas. 

With the Yale HWs taking five races and the Olympic Axe from Dartmouth; Yale women's team sweeping Boston University and Dartmouth to claim the Class of 1985 Cup and the Yale lightweights sweeping Georgetown and MIT to claim the Joy Cup, it was a great day of racing and a great day to be a Yale rower.

4-6-2011 Blue Crews – Last Weekend and Next

 

Folks …
 
Lots of racing last weekend as the Spring season begins to gain momentum.  Mixed results for the Blue Crews — Yale LWs defeated Navy LWs and took the Eads Johnson Cupback to Derby.  Yale Women 1V were 4 seconds short and lost the Cayuga Cup to Cornell.  Navy Women finished 3rd behind Princeton and Rutgers.  Navy and Yale HWs were idle.  Teddy Ballgame took the trip South for the Eads Johnson Cup, leaving Downeast Maine in an April 1st Nor'easter blizzard, arriving at Lake Carnegie to sunny skies and 58 degrees, returning to Maine — 28 degrees and snow flurries.

3-31-2011 What the Scribes said – This Week in Blue Rowing – Red Sox Nation [early times]

 

Folks …
 
In Downeast Maine the weather forecast is calling for 6" of wet heavy snow.  Let's hope that it is an April Fool's Day Joke.  So what happened to Punxatawny Phil's forecast of an early Spring?  Regardless Teddy Ballgame says it is a go … so we will be driving to Princeton tomorrow to witness the annual LW Blue Crew Crash — the Eads Johnson Cup.

5/14/2010 – Off to the Sprints

Folks…

As the 2010 Spring racing season moves into its championship racing phase, it is the end of speculating with polls, ranking and seeds, as well as who bested whom in the early season dual races and trophy competition. No more dead heats or bragging over whose trophy case is more filled with bigger cups. On Sunday, the crews will line up six across Lake Quinsigamond or the Cooper River and after 2,000 meters Sprints gold medals will be given, overall and individual trophies awarded and Ivy League Championships settled. So let’s get it on and settle it all on the water … no excuses.

Who has the edge, Harvard or Princeton? Or did one or both of the Blue Crews — Navy or Yale find more speed, better Flow, a quicker start, superior moves or a spectacular finish over the last two weeks of exams and practice?
