Radcliffe Crews Find Mixed Results at Sprints

The Radcliffe 2V also came out with a medal with a second-place finish with a time of 7:01.69, more than six second ahead of Ivy foe Princeton.

While, the Black and White’s performance this past weekend was impressive on paper, it was even more impressive given the last minute challenges faced by all three boats.

With the injury of co-captain Leah Schwartz, Radcliffe was forced to make several last minute personnel changes to its lineups. Schwartz’s absence in the 1V was filled by freshman Katherine Mallet, who rowed the varsity eight for the first time.

Schwartz, on the other hand, still made the trip to Camden but was not expected to compete in the Sprints. However, at the last minute, Schwartz stepped into the 4V boat and led the crew to a respectable fourth-place finish. [CORRECTION APPENDED]

For the Black and White heavyweights, selections for the NCAA Championships will be announced this coming Tuesday at 5 pm. The Radcliffe lightweights, now turns its attention to the IRA National Championships to be held June 2-4 back on the Cooper River in Camden, N.J.

CORRECTION

The story "Radcliffe Crews Find Mixed Results at Sprints," which ran May 19, incorrectly stated that an injury to co-captain Leah Schwartz had forced Radcliffe to replace her with Katherine Mallett. In fact, it was co-captain Natalie Wong who was injured at the last minute and replaced in the first varsity lightweight eight by Mallet. Schwartz was not scheduled to race but did join the varsity four crew.
