Men's Crew Sweeps Congram Cup
April 28, 2007
Lake Carnegie (Princeton, NJ)

Men's Crew swept all three races against Rutgers in the seventh annual Congram Cup Saturday. It was the 38th overall meet between the two teams.

NU won the varsity race by 9.1 seconds, their largest margin since 2002. The Huskies have now won the first seven Congram Cups in a row, and own a 33-5 all-time record against Rutgers.

The race took place on Carnegie Lake in Princeton, N.J. for the first time since 1979, due to excessive flooding on the Raritan River.

The Huskies will now prepare for next weekend's Smith Cup against Harvard Saturday, May 5. The varsity race kicks off at 8:40 a.m.

Varsity: NU 5:50.3; Rutgers 5:59.4
2nd Varsity Four: NU-A 6:40.5; NU-B 6:42.3; Rutgers 7:23.2
Freshman: NU 5:58.0; Rutgers 6:11.8
