Varsity 8+ third
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The 15th-ranked Oregon State men's Varsity 8+ crew finished third in the Petite Finals of the Copley Cup and two other Beaver boats raced in their respective Grand Finals at the San Diego Crew Classic on Sunday.
The V8+ crew got the day started for the Beavers in the Petite Finals. Boats from No. 10 Yale, No. 13 Syracuse and Oregon State led the pack off the start, with Yale taking an early lead. All six of the crews in the race were practically even through the first 500 meters before Yale began to establish a lead. Syracuse made a push for first while Oregon State was left to fend off Michigan for third place. The Wolverines used a strong second 500 meters to take third place away from OSU, but the Beavers recovered in the second half of the race to take third by a narrow margin of 1.45 seconds.
