Heavyweight Crew Competes for the Packard Cup

The Dartmouth men's heavyweight crew will be competing this weekend on beautiful Lake Morey located about 18 miles north of Hanover in Fairlee, Vermont.

The two-day event will consist of sixth-ranked Syracuse and fifth-ranked Dartmouth going head-to-head for the Packard Cup on Saturday followed by the addition of 14th-ranked Boston University to the mix on Sunday.

The oldest continuously active heavyweight competition for Dartmouth has been with Syracuse. In 1958, Dr. Anthony Ladd of Syracuse established the Packard Cup in honor of his father-in-law, Dr. Edward N. Packard, stroke for the Syracuse crew in 1904. Until 1968 the race was at two miles, when it was reduced to 2000 meters.

Last competed in 2019 before the pandemic, the Big Green fell to the Orange in a tight race with the two teams separated by less than a second (5:51.4 to 5:52.2).

Dartmouth won three straight from 2013 to 2015 before Syracuse won three of the following four years.

Although the race was not competed last season, the Big Green varsity finished third at the IRA followed by Syracuse in fourth place.
