Lightweight league a 2 boat race?

[Powerhouse1919]

Will anyone be close to Dartmouth and Harvard? Looks like they're in their own league, should be a fantastic finish between the two of them.

Who'll take 3rd-6th? I could see Yale, Pton, Cornell and Gtown all in a position to take bronze.

Princeton was .8 off of Dartmouth and 3 seconds off of Harvard. The last thing I would call that is, "out of their league." Especially in the world of lightweight rowing.

Quite right.
Hats off to all these programs! I was particularly impressed the way Dartmouth closed in the last 250m yesterday.
IRA's will be an interesting rematch though I still pick Harvard to go undefeated.

Could be that Camden won't be the Crimson's last race this season either...

I'm impressed that Dartmouth's 1V has been doing so well. It seems like they don't get the same recruits that Harvard, Yale and Princeton do; their Frosh8 has been last place in the grands each of the last 4 years. Guess they rely on a lot of good coaching and internal improvement. Props to them. IRAs should be a good race, hopefully Yale and Georgetown will pick up some more speed.
