Princeton's Varsity Eight with the Compton Cup
No. 9 Heavies Regain Compton Cup Over No. 6 Harvard
April 15, 2023 | Heavyweight Rowing
PRINCETON – The No. 9 Princeton Heavyweight Team brought back the Compton Cup with an impressive 4.8-second victory over the No. 6 Harvard Crimson on Saturday.
In the final race of the day, the Tigers 1V crossed the line at 5:33.5 in front of Harvard (5:38.3).
"I am proud of the way that our team raced today," said Princeton head coach Greg Hughes. "Every boat rowed a gutsy piece and it was a solid step forward for our entire squad. We're certainly all excited to return the Compton Cup to the boathouse but we also know that we've got a lot more work still to do."
This ends a Harvard streak of four straight victories over Princeton. The Tigers' last Compton Cup came in 2016. This is the highest-ranking victory in the regular season for the Tigers since defeating No. 5 Brown in 2019.
Princeton's varsity eight has not lost this season, dropping No. 6 Harvard, No. 14 Penn, No. 15 Navy, No. 16 Drexel, No. 19 Columbia, No. 20 Temple and No. 22 Georgetown.
The Crimson took the 2V, 3V, 4V and 5V races with the closest race coming in the 2V (2.42).
