Second-place Syracuse finished a whopping 14.9 seconds behind the Radcliffe, while the team’s B boat finished in fourth.Despite a late-charge, the Black...
...attempts by the athletics department to save. “I’ve definitely noticed, at least in track, we’ve been doing some budgeting, making sure that we are not getting unnecessary equipment and the like,” said junior cross country captain Kelsey B. LeBuffe ’10. “Some minor constraints, but nothing major.” Harvard Director of Athletic Communications Kurt Svoboda made it clear in an e-mail that the University did “not anticipate reducing [its] varsity sports programs.” MIT Undergraduate...
