The list of Chenoweth’s accomplishments in his rookie campaign is already...
...turn-laden course on Lake Cayuga to systematically increase its lead. The Crimson finished 4.4 seconds behind Cornell and 6.2 seconds ahead of Penn with a time of 5:51.3. “The first race against Cornell is usually pretty big because Cornell’s a really fast crew because they won sprints this year and last,” He said. “The first race is always a really good gauge for how we are against the other boats. We were five seconds behind them and we thought five seconds isn’t that...
