YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - In the largest regatta in Ford Lake history, the Eastern Michigan University rowing team's 1V8+ posted the team's top time since 2019 as the Eagles battled seven other schools in the inaugural Ford Lake Cup at the EMU Rowing Course at Ford Lake Saturday, April 26, on a cold, windy day that resulted in the day's final five races being canceled.
Eastern finished tied for fourth as the University of Delaware won the regatta.
Eastern's 1V8+ glided to a blistering 6:37.3 in the heat race before its 6:54.1 in the Grand Final yielded a fifth-place showing. The 6:37.3 effort marked EMU's best mark since April 28, 2019, when the Green and White won the J. Clark Wray Cup Race in 6:17.7.
The Eagles' 2V8+ won its heat race in 6:53.7 before taking third in the Grand Final in 6:59.9.
The 1V4+ rounded out Eastern's boats in 8:08.4 as the high winds forced the cancellation of the 2V4+ race, 3V8+ race, 1V8+ Petite Final, 2V8+ Petite Final, and 1V4+ Petite Final.
