Distance: 2000m Conditions: 15-25mph cross tail wind. Last 750 pretty rough. Comments: In the Freshman race, Wisco did not hear the starter and ended up starting a split second (maybe half a stroke) behind. The results reflect this first (and only) full race.
We decided to re-race the full 2000m with just BU and Wisconsin. During the second race at about 750 to go, the BU 5 man caught a crab and lost his oar. BU was 1 or 2 seats up at the time.
We decided to re-race starting at the 600m. At about 3000m to go the Wisco bow man caught an over the head crab and brought the boat to a halt. BU was 1 or 2 seats up at the time.
We decided to re-race starting at the 250m to go. BU won by a seat or two.
Great sportsmanship in all crews. The freshman crews exchanged shirts instead of awarding shirts to the winning crew.
