ITHACA, N.Y. — The Cornell men's heavyweight rowing program concluded its fall slate on Saturday morning when it hosted Syracuse and Dartmouth for the Cornell Fall Classic at the Cornell Rowing Center.
All three programs sent four 8+ crews to race in a trio of 3500-meter races with times from the trio of pieces led to a combined time for the day.
Dartmouth's 1V8+ prevailed in all three pieces, logging a combined time of 32:19.5. Syracuse finished in second with 32:41.6 and Cornell was third in 33:55.8. The Big Green also placed first in all three races in the 4V8+ and finishing with a 34:24.0 time, which was 38.2 seconds ahead of Syracuse (35:02.2), while Cornell logged a time of 36:12.5.
Syracuse registered victories in the 2V8+ and 3V8+ events. Dartmouth had the fastest times in the first piece of both 2V8+ and 3V8+ events, but the Orange edged out the Big Green in the final two flights to finish ahead of its Ivy League counterparts. The Orange posted a 33:07.5 time in the 2V8+, only 3.8 seconds better than Dartmouth, and had a 9.1-second victory over the Big Green in the 3V8+. Cornell registered times of 34:38.3 and 35:45.4 in the 2V8+ and 3V8+, respectively.
