Dayton and Duquesne raced light eights and light fours at their dual in Dayton. The Flyers won the eight by 24 seconds, a strong showing for Dayton. A second lineup was raced, which was won by Duquesne. I don't know if this was a 2V or just switched seats. It would be great if these two programs had enough lightweights for a second eight, but I suspect it was a combination of switched seats and new rowers. Duquesne won the light four by 16 seconds.

At the Blue Heron Sprints in Eureka, Humboldt State's light four won a combo light/JV race over Humboldt's JV, Seattle Pacific, and Mills. It's not clear if the latter two boats were lightweight or heavyweight.

At the Petrakis Cup in Florida, UCF came in first and second in the light four, beating a Jacksonville boat. In the heavy eight event, the lights were third, behind their own heavies and Miami's heavies, but beating heavyweights from Jacksonville and Tulane.

In Washington DC the Georgetown freshmen lights raced George Mason, North Carolina, and their own heavies. In two separate races the frosh beat their own heavies and George Mason's heavies, while losing to North Carolina's 2F heavies in a separate race. Somewhat convoluted story here.

No news yet on the Daffodil Cup in Tacoma.
