Conditions: Comments: "An Old School Duel of Classic Proportions"
There was a lot of pride at stake in today's cross-town confrontation between George Washington University and their rivals from Georgetown. And just a little history too.

Today's men-only varsity event was a 'best-of-5' match races. The crews raced on the Potomac River from Key Bridge to Washington Harbour, a distance of a little over a half mile. George Washington's JV Eight and Freshman Eight raced Georgetown in a 'best-of-3' series.

Joining the varsity events this year again were alumni races. Alumni of each school raced each other in two age classes:
"Young Alumni": Grad's - 35 years
"Masters Alumni": 35 - 50+ years

Conditions: light tail and moderate current early on with incoming tide for later varsity crew races.
