HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth men's heavyweight rowing team opened its spring season on Saturday with an impressive performance, winning all four races against Holy Cross and MIT, each by comfortable margins of 14 seconds or greater. The racing took place at the Big Green's home course on the Connecticut River.
Â
"It was good to see our crews get a full 2K and a win under their belts on our home course," said Wyatt Allen, Betsy and Mark Gates 1959 Head Coach of Men's Heavyweight Rowing. "That being said, we need to dial some things in and find more speed in each of our lineups. We have a big test coming up next weekend at Yale."
Â
The Varsity Eight got the day started on a strong note, with the Big Green finishing in 5:43.4 – ahead of Holy Cross (5:59.3) and MIT (6:06.4). The Second Varsity Eight followed with a time of 5:49.0. Holy Cross came in second (6:03.0) and MIT in third (6:16.4).
Â
The Third Varsity Eight saw Dartmouth win by nearly 31 seconds, posting a time of 5:58.5 compared to the Crusaders' 6:29.2. In the final race of the day, Dartmouth's Fourth Varsity was first to finish (6:04.1), with the Big Green's Fifth Varsity Eight just four seconds behind (6:08.1) followed by Holy Cross' Fourth Varsity Eight (6:37.8).
Â
The Big Green return to action next Saturday at Yale. The Bulldogs were picked second in the Preseason IRCA/IRA Coaches Poll while Dartmouth stood seventh.
