At the 115th IRA Regatta in Gold River, Calif. the Cornell men’s lightweight crew squad earned a first place finish, capping off an excellent season which saw the top varsity boat go undefeated. Over the last four years, the team has been undefeated in three seasons, winning three national titles in the process. With the 2017 title, the team is experiencing its best stretch since winning three titles from 2006-08. The lightweights have won the IRA title in six of the last 11 seasons, and seven times overall since the event was added in 1990. By the halfway point, Cornell’s lead had extended to seven seats.
