Princeton Men's Lacrosse: Portugal Day 3
November 01, 2016 | Men's Lacrosse
The Grand Prix of Portugese go-cart racing, or at least the Princeton men's lacrosse version of it, went to Team Canada Tuesday afternoon.
The team of Zach Currier, Riley Thompson and Dawson McKenzie - the team's three Canadians - came out victorious, beating out second-place Gavin McBride and J.T. Caputo among the 16 teams. Third place went to Greg Merrill, Luke Pascucci and Braedon Gait.
The racing took place about 45 minutes away from the team hotel. There were teams of two or three, and the drivers took turns behind the wheel during the course of the 90-minute race. Regardless of where anyone finished, there was universal agreement that the event was thrilling.
Princeton's third day in Portugal started with a crisp two-hour practice on a field adjacent to the 3,000-seat stadium in Monte Gordo, which is home to the local Third Division professional soccer team and, on this day, some track and field athletes from around Europe who were training. The stadium has also featured an international women's soccer tournament, and there is a picture of Carli Lloyd and the rest of the U.S. women's national team players celebrating a goal on the field.
Princeton was having its second and final practice at this complex. The next lacrosse activity will be Thursday afternoon, when Princeton plays the first of three games against the English national team back in Lisbon.
Near the end of the practice, a man named Jim Kilty came over and introduced himself to the Princeton group. Jim is a track coach from Dublin, Ireland, and he wanted to say that he'd been at Princeton for the 1991 IC4A championships and thought it was a simply beautiful school. He also trained Jon Kronn, who went from Ireland to be a long-jumper at Princeton and four-time letterwinner who graduated in 1994.
The weather was perfect in the Algarve region of Portugal Tuesday, with bright sunshine and temperatures that approached 80. After the practice, most of the players went across the street from the hotel to the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. After that, there was the ride to the go-cart track.
This was Princeton's last full day in this part of the country. There will be an early checkout Wednesday, and the team will head to the border with Spain, where it will take a ferry across and then zipline back into Portugal. From there, the team will make the three-hour ride back to Lisbon.
