WHAT'S ON THE LINE
The EARC Sprints features a group of highly competitive crews in both the lightweight and heavyweight divisions as teams try to earn a bid to the 2019 IRA National Championships at the Sacramento State Aquatics Center in California from June 1-3.
LIGHTWEIGHTS' STATUS
No. 3 Columbia lightweight team won three of its final four races during the regular season, falling only to No. 1 Cornell on April 20. The Lions will aim to take that momentum into Eastern Sprints, where the varsity eight has medaled in three of the last four years.
HEAVYWEIGHTS' STATUS
The Lions come into this weekend ranked No. 16 in the country. Columbia was edged in a highly competitive Stevenson Cup race that featured a photo-finish with George Washington for second place and a three-second gap between third and first place Navy.
A LOOK BACK...
Last year, the lightweights took gold in the varsity and second varsity eight events to secure the Jope Cup, as the overall points winners, at EARC Sprints. Columbia's heavyweight varsity and second varsity eights were the runner-up in the third level final. In the third varsity eight, the Lions finished seventh in the petite final.
