Cornell men's lightweight rowing will finish its fall season Sunday, Nov. 1, at the Princeton Chase on Lake Carnegie in Princeton, New Jersey.
The Big Red enters the three-mile race after finishing fourth in the lightweight eights at the Head of the Charles on Oct. 18, according to Cornell Athletics.
Big Red builds on Head of the Charles finish
Cornell's varsity eight covered the Charles course in 14 minutes, 5.935 seconds, finishing 5.333 seconds behind third-place Princeton. The Big Red placed ahead of Penn, Georgetown, MIT and Queen's.
Cornell finished 10th in the lightweight fours after receiving a one-minute penalty. Its raw time was 16:09.566, and the crew recorded the field's second-fastest split from Cambridge Boat Club to the finish.
Sunday's course on Lake Carnegie presents a different challenge from the winding Charles River. Cornell last competed in Princeton on April 11 for the Platt Cup and Harriott Trophy races.
Spring schedule starts back in Princeton
The Chase is Cornell's final competition before winter training. The Big Red returns to racing April 3 at the National Collegiate Lightweight Invitational in Princeton.
Cornell visits Harvard for the Matthews/Leonard Cup on April 10, then hosts Dartmouth for the Baggaley Bowl on April 24. Columbia and MIT visit May 1 for the Geiger Cup.
The spring schedule concludes with the Eastern Sprints on May 16 in Worcester, Massachusetts, and the IRA National Championship on May 30 in West Windsor, New Jersey.
