Varsity 8 Georgetown 5:50.05 Rutgers 5:50.11 In the 1V race Georgetown ripped off the start to establish an early lead. Rutgers looking a little sluggish and never pushed or tried to stop Georgetown's strong push to the lead. Georgetown pushed out to a open water at a 1000m when Rutgers 1000m move failed and left Georgetown still 9 seats up crossing the 500m to go. Rutgers then deciding to push rasies the rate and Georgetown responded but could not stop Rutgers from drawing level at the line. Georgetown puts it bow over the line first by the difference in strokes. Georgetown raced a very gutsy race pushing to the lead and trying to maintain the lead. They did a great job over the first 1500m then faulter because of Rutgers strong push and just plain tried. Rutgers ends the season 5-4 first winning season since 1991. Rutgers is also the only Varsity to race all 10 Eastern Sprint schools, seeing Harvard at San Diego Crew Classic. Second Varsity 8 Rutgers 6:06.50 Georgetown 6:11.2 In the 2V race Rutgers looked great. They continued their improvement and look very confident today. Rutgers only was challenged early on by Georgetown but did not look back the last 1500m. First Freshman Rutgers 6:04.50 Georgetown 6:07.50 In the 1F race Rutgers moved well at the 500m in and the 1000m to get their advantage. Georgetown and Rutgers travel similar speeds through most of the race. The big difference was Rutgers moves. 2f/3V 4+ Georgetown 7:01.48 Rutgers 7:19.60
