Quote:The lightweight four and lightweight double Grand Finals were canceled due to deteriorating weather conditions on the water. The IRA did not award a team champion this year as a result of the canceled races.
  

Too bad about the canceled team championship, though.

I was there for my son's Princeton graduation.  There was so much lightning, they called off the P-Rade, which is a long parade of any graduate from any year who wants to walk the length of the campus.  First time it has been called off since 1953.

Talked with some of the C.al rowers who were staying in our hotel.  Pretty confident bunch.  They mentioned Stanford's light fours win.

A great article on the Stanford lightweight eight:

And as for the lightweight fours and doubles, they *did* get to race, just not under IRA sanction.  Read on, if you would know.
