Lightweight Rowing Races Twice On Saturday To Open Spring Season
March 23, 2022 | Men's Rowing - Lightweight
Princeton returns to men's lightweight rowing action this weekend, competing twice in the DMV area in regattas against Navy and Georgetown.
The Tigers and Midshipmen will compete for the Murtaugh Cup in the morning in Annapolis before Princeton head to the nation's capitol to row for the Fosbugh Cup against Georgetown.
The Murtaugh Cup, named after former Princeton and U.S. lightweight coach Joseph Murtaugh, was first contested in 2008. All-time, Princeton has won 10 Murtaugh Cup races to just a pair for the Midshipmen. After losing in the inaugural race, Princeton has won 10 of the last 11 Murtaugh Cup regattas. In 2019, the Tigers put together a 7.7-second win over Navy on Lake Carnegie.

After downing Temple, the Tigers collected a pair of medals at IRAs -- bronze in the 1V and silver 2V.
