Everyone knew the lightweight Sprints title was to be settled among three teams, and that’s exactly the way it played out.

Radcliffe, Princeton, and Wisconsin fought amongst themselves again yesterday, but the results were not so sweet for the Black and White.

The Badgers took the crown securely with a time of 6:35.00 while the Tigers grabbed second in 6:39.70. The Black and White found itself in third place, finishing in 6:45.30.

The novice eight (6:54.00) raced to a second place position behind Princeton (6:46.20).

The first varsity has still not topped either team this year and is 0-2 versus the Badgers and 0-3 against the Tigers.

Wisconsin beat Princeton and took the Windermere Classic, which Radcliffe did not attend, in early April, but the Tigers vanquished both the Badgers and the Black and White four weeks ago at the Knecht Cup.

The IRA National Championships will be held June 3-4, also on the Cooper in Camden, and the winner will surely emerge from the three.
