ITHACA, N.Y. — After placing second at the Eastern Sprints Championship last Sunday on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass., the Cornell men's lightweight 1V8 crew has garnered Second Team All-Ivy honors, it was announced by the Ivy League on Friday morning.

The Big Red varsity crew medaled in the 1VL8 race for the first time since 2017, when it achieved its third victory in a four-year span. Since 1995, when the top three-placing crews were awarded medals, Cornell has earned nine medals in the varsity eight race, including five gold, one silver, and three bronze.

Harvard won the Joseph Wright Trophy and was crowned Ivy League champions for a second consecutive season after it swept the top three varsity races, resulting in earning First Team All-Ivy honors. The Crimson completed the 2000-meter course in 5:46.739, finishing 2.546 seconds faster than Big Red's time of 5:49.285, which represented a 1.491-second improvement from its heat time of 5:48.230. Cornell improved its time from the heat by 4.739 seconds, finishing with a time of 5:54.024.

Senior Emmett Patterson, who was also named a Second Team All-Ivy honoree, was Cornell's selection for Academic All-Ivy. Patterson, an information science major, has a cumulative grade-point average of 3.969.
