The Eastern Association of Women's Rowing Colleges (EAWRC) Sprints is one of the biggest races of the year.
The Radcliffe crews knew this yesterday. Unfortunately, the crews from Brown, Princeton and Virginia knew this, too.
Rowing on Lake Waramaug in New Preston, Conn., the EAWRC No. 4 Radcliffe varsity heavyweights could not break into the upper echelon of boats in the finals.
Coming in at 6:12.4, the Black-and-White finished in fourth place, just ahead of Wisconsin's 6:14.1 and Boston University's 6:16.3.
But No.1 Brown crossed the line at 6:02.1, a good 10-plus seconds in front of Radcliffe.
Just behind the Bears were No. 2 Princeton and No. 3 Virginia, speeding to times of 6:04.2 and 6:05.2, respectively.
The Radcliffe varsity lightweights, in their only race of the day, came in third out of four teams, finishing behind Princeton and Virginia and ahead of Wisconsin.
Princeton's time of 6:31.2 was better than Virginia's 6:36.3 and Radcliffe's 6:37.5. Wisconsin finished with a time of 6:49.1.
In the second varsity heavyweight race, Radcliffe could not overcome the Brown-Princeton-Virginia stronghold on the top three spots, again finishing in fourth place.
