TEN EYCK TROPHY STANDINGS
 
WEST WINDSOR, N.J. – Yale Heavyweight Crew captured the Ten Eyck Memorial Trophy for overall supremacy at the 2022 IRA National Championship after having two of its three boats win titles on Mercer Lake today.

That and Yale's 2V and 3V national championships were a first for the storied program, while the Eli varsity finished second to California in the penultimate race.

"It's the strongest [group] I've coached since I've been at Cal," said Steve Gladstone, the Craig W. Johnson '68 Yale Head Coach, who coached on the West Coast prior to coming to New Haven. "It speaks to the intelligence and devotion to guys from top to bottom, which is a dream.

Cal, the top seed, led the varsity race from the start of a very close one with the Bulldogs, who finished in 5:46.33. Yale tried to make a move and catch the Bears (5:44.23) but crossed the finish line 2.1 seconds later. Brown, Washington, Syracuse and Harvard followed the Blue.

The second varsity, which followed the 3V race, used a patient first 500 meters to overcome a small deficit and never looked back to finish in 5:51.95, which was two second ahead of California and 5.3 better than Dartmouth. That victory probably clinched the Ten Eyck and enabled the Bulldogs to become the first school other than Cal or Washington to earn the overall title since 2005.

Washington, Brown and Princeton followed the Big Green in the 2V.

The Yale 3V made a huge move at 1250 meters to cross the finish line first. The Elis (5:54.77) were 2.9 seconds faster than Harvard and had 8.7 ticks on the Huskies. Dartmouth, Cal and Brown came in after Washington.

Yale's legendary head coach reflected on the day, particularly the final event.

"There were no regrets in the varsity race, we lost to a crew that was faster. To pout would be absurd, it was a first for Yale (overall trophy) and a great day. The next step, after you take deep breath, is next weekend. It stings when you are not the fastest and you give your best effort, so what is the response to that… you get back to work," said Gladstone, who has more IRA varsity championship boats than anyone in rowing history, and coached oarsmen who are earned varsity eight gold and bronze medals today as head coaches in the last race.

Getting back to work means next weekend's Yale-Harvard Regatta on the Thames River in New London. The Bulldogs and Crimson begin competition on Friday evening with the fourth varsity race for the Snider Cup.
