Yale reclaims Carnegie cup.

Distance: 2000m
Conditions: Light tail winds, building slightly for JV race then tapering off for 1F and 3V. Light tail current.

The Yale Heavyweight varsity eight brought home the Carnegie Cup with a 3 seat victory.

Unfortunately Harry Simperingham and the Yale Bulldogs Freshman 8 came in last.  Cornell was 1^st and Princeton Tigers 2^nd.

Rowing, begun as an undergraduate sport at Yale and Harvard in the 1840s, developing more slowly at Princeton. In 1876, Scottish-American steel maker, Andrew Carnegie was persuaded to build a lake for Princeton. He had built a number of lochs in Scotland. Lake Carnegie was dedicated in 1906.

The Carnegie Cup  was given by Andrew Carnegie's widow in 1920. Since its inception, Princeton has won the Carnegie Cup 36 times, while Cornell has won it 29 times. Yale has taken the Cup just 18 times. The Big Red (Cornell) finished first last season after coming in second the year before. No team has repeated as the winner since the Tigers won three straight from 2004 to 2006.
