ROCHESTER, NY ? The varsity four of the Syracuse University men's crew team won the men's four heavyweight competition at the Stonehurst Invitational in Rochester, NY. Though the races were completed on Sunday, October 14, the results were made official on Monday, October 15.
The varsity four was an all senior crew coxed by Eric Miller (Syracuse, NY/ Henninger).
