ITHACA, N.Y. – The Big Red heavyweight and lightweight rowing teams dominated the competition this morning at the Ithaca College Invitational, a series of dual races held over the course of two sessions between crews from Cornell, Ithaca, Bucknell, Hobart and Michigan.
 
In total, the heavies won nine of 10 races on the day, with the lone loss coming when Michigan's fourth varsity eight defeated the Big Red's fifth varsity eight in the second to last race of the afternoon.   
 
Despite being the only lightweight program in the field, Cornell still dominated the competition with nine victories on the day. Four of the crews' five losses came to the Big Red's heavyweight boats.
 
The heavyweights are back in action on Saturday, April 2 when they play host to Harvard and George Washington at the Cayuga Lake Inlet, while the lightweights will enjoy a week off before hosting Penn and Harvard for the Leonard-Matthews Cup on Saturday, April 9.
