2000 National Collegiate Women's Rowing Championship

May 26-28, 2000
Cooper River Park
Camden County, New Jersey, USA

Pre-Race Analysis Varsity 8+ Repechage #1

The top 3 crews in this repechage qualify for Saturday's semi-finals. The rest will race in Saturday's third level final.

Harvard, Syracuse, Ohio State and Yale are expected to battle for these three top spots. UC Davis should be in the hunt for at least the first 500 meters, but will have its hands full holding onto the leaders in the 2nd 500 meter interval. William Smith and Wesleyan are predicted to lose touch with the leaders in the first 500 meters.

Although Yale appears to fall way off in the 2nd 500 meters according to the pro-forma race bulletin that follows this narrative, that is because Yale caught a huge crab at 600 meters in its heat this morning, and the proforma presented below is simply an unadjusted mixture of these crews' times in their morning heats. So expect Yale ( 6th in Eastern Sprints) to be there the whole way, based on its 500 meter time this morning before it caught the crab.

Between these top 4 crews, Syracuse and Ohio State need to stop Harvard's ( and perhaps Yale's ) expected move on the field in the 2nd 500 meter interval. They just have to go out determined not to let that move happen. At the same time, if Yale can stay with Harvard, and Syracuse and Ohio State cannot, then Syracuse and Ohio State must be careful not to overdue it early, and should save something to use to race each other for that third qualifying spot in the last 500 meters.

Prediction: Harbard, Yale, Syracuse, Ohio State, UC Davis, William Smith and Wesleyan, in that order.
