All four crew teams wrapped up their fall seasons this Sunday with regattas at the Rivanna Romp in Charlottesville, Va. and the Belly of the Carnegie in Princeton, N.J.

The heavyweight teams competed with mixed results in Virginia and New Jersey.

At the Belly of the Carnegie, the team was led by the men’s heavyweight eight squad. The `B’ team finished in 10th place while the `A’ rowers placed close behind in 12th. Princeton’s `A’ and `B’ teams took first and second place, respectively, a common refrain this year as Princeton and its Ivy cohorts have dominated the local rowing scene.

In the men’s lightweight eight race, Georgetown was weaker, its `A’ and `B’ teams dropping to 16th and 18th, respectively, of only 21 boats in the water. Navy won the event while Ivy powers Harvard, Yale, Cornell and Princeton rounded out the top five. Again, Delaware and the Navy `C’ boat found themselves at the bottom of the pack.

In the women’s open eight race, Georgetown found itself at a disadvantage, running two lightweight boats against the faster heavyweight competition.

The mismatched squads came in 12th and 22nd of 24 boats. Their finishes cannot be compared to the field which ran mostly heavyweight shells.

Georgetown met Virginia, Cincinnati, North Carolina, Duke and other historically strong teams at the Rivanna Romp on Sunday in one of the largest meets of the fall season.

In the men’s varsity eight race, the Georgetown `A’ team placed second, slipping only to host Virginia’s `A’ team.

The women’s varsity eight race saw significantly more competitors, with 29 boats racing.

A plethora of strong southern schools – Tennessee, Miami, Texas and Clemson – proved too strong for Georgetown as the Hoyas could manage only a 26th place finish. Virginia took the event with Ohio State and Tennessee taking the top three spots.

In an odd turn of events, the women’s eight race was run twice due to a timing error in the first go-around. Due to the error, the women’s four and women’s two races were cut from the competition. The women’s novices fared better, racing in a field of eight boats and placing third behind Clemson and Virginia.

The two regattas mark the conclusion of the fall crew season, with spring races set to begin in March.
