If you haven’t been paying attention at all, the Syracuse Orange men’s rowing team has been putting in a pretty good season. Their latest honor? Being ranked seventh in the USRowing Coaches Poll — their highest appearance since 2011. Don’t believe me? Here’s some proof:
Last weekend, SU beat a couple of ranked squads — No. 6 Boston University, No. 18 Columbia — on the Onondaga Lake Outlet, to take home the Conlan Cup. They’ll host No. 6 Darmouth this Saturday, with the Packard Cup on the line.
I won’t pretend to be some expert on rowing here.
