I think Penn's freshmen will have more speed than people are really expecting but I still think that Harvard and Cornell will be able to come out on top.

1v:
Georgetown- Impressive showing at the chase, lots of returning guys. I see the Hoyas win it all
Princeton - Always good
Harvard - Will be fierce this year never doubt Butt
Cornell - Strong frosh last year
Yale - can't but them much lower
Penn - who knows .. wild card
Navy - those guys are crazy fit, maybe overworked for their own good
Dartmouth - too long of a winter
Columbia - not enough attention focused on the LW program
MIT - MIT

I do not know enough about the lightweight frosh so just going to stick with the 1V

Georgetown? Number 1? Neither their varsity lights nor their frosh lights made the A final at Sprints last year..

1. Princeton - Too deep and too talented.
2. Cornell - If the ergs I've heard are true, they might be able to push Princeton and possibly beat a very strong Harvard crew.
3. Harvard - All the medalists will be close.
4. Navy - Great performance at the 2010 IRA.
5. Yale - Peaked very well last year.
Don't know enough about the rest.

I think UDel has a real shot at sprints of shaking things up and making the final... Also no one is going to be within a closed length of Princeton all year

[76sjp]

UDel barely edged columbia who appears to be one of the worst sprints teams...

[76sjp]

also, last week your sixth best team almost already disproved your statement about no one being within a length of Princeton. What makes you think teams 2-5 could not close that length? Are you pretending it is still preseason and there are no results to look at?

... Also no one is going to be within a closed length of Princeton all year

Why? Are Harvard and Cornell going to be 1st and 2nd by open water?

[Lightweightrow1098]

Harvard sucks, Princeton will win it all.


Now that that's out of the way, I think UDel actually is a fast team. Doing well against what appears to be a quick Harvard squad (if we ignore the 2V) is impressive, as well as wins over Penn and Columbia. I believe that as of right now they are not allowed to race at Sprints, however, since they're a club team. How much of the Ivy League do they have to beat to earn a slot?

Yeah... already disproven djs3343. Nice.



1. Princeton
2. Harvard
3. Cornell
4. Georgetown
5. Yale
6. Navy

7. *Delaware, if they were allowed to race*
7. Dartmouth
8. Columbia
9. Penn
10. MIT
11. St. Joe's

Harvard vs. Cornell and Penn should be interesting this week, although Cornell always puts on speed after this race.
