This year there are 565 total entries, 11 overseas and 454 from England.
Familiar foes Brown, Cornell, Princeton, Temple, UCSD, Washington and Yale will all race in the Temple Challenge Cup with Syracuse while Orange Coast College is the only non-NCAA Division I school from the U.S. competing. The Temple Challenge Cup is the classified as the only male student heavyweight eight race at Henley.
Syracuse will bring one heavyweight eight boat to England. Eleven Orange oarsmen (Matt Barni, Sam Busco, Mike Glaude, Josh Hockenberry, Pieter Kerpestein, Kyle Leimeister, Noah Messner, Sveta Radovic, Dominic Santora, Forrest Sears and Sunlee Stechuk) will all make the trip to Henley. The Orange lineup will be set in the coming days.
