Day 1 Recap | Day 2 Recap
Syracuse posted many impressive finishes last weekend at the weather-shortened Clemson Invitational. Racing on the same course the ACC Championship will be contested on, the Orange competed against 20 other schools, including several ranked programs, providing high-level racing in a two-day format.
After finishing fourth on Saturday and fifth in its first race of the morning on Sunday, Syracuse's top boat, the varsity eight, finished with its strongest performance of the weekend, placing second to No. 15 Wisconsin. The second varsity eight, after a disappointing finish on Saturday, turned in a pair of inspired performances on Sunday, finishing second in both its races. SU's varsity four continued its stellar rowing, winning its only race of the day, while the third varsity eight placed third in its race.
"The 21 crews that were here are participating in the future of the sport," head coach Justin Moore said. "This regatta is special in the quality of the competition and really high-quality event. It had a lot of cross-conference referencing and was really important."
Looking Ahead
It's on to postseason racing for the Orange after this weekend. Syracuse will compete at its first ACC Championship on May 17-18 on Lake Hartwell in Clemson, S.C.
