While the Bulldogs continued to gain an edge on the field, Radcliffe took a move at the 750-meter mark, surprising a Big Green crew that began to fall back. The rest of the race was a battle for second place, as both the Tigers and the Black and White tried to get their bows in front. “There was definitely that sense of urgency, of ‘we need to perform today...
