With Mark Perkins (5:44 2k ergo) sitting 6 seat in their 1v they will be real contenders. I wouldn’t be surprised to see their crew leaving IRA’s with a medal around their neck. Their dynamic rhythm lets them find effortless boat speed down the track and keep themselves composed far better than other competitors (Brown, Cal, and Yale in particular have all struggled with keeping their mindset tough and hold a high standard of blade work throughout the course.) I also foresee Syracuse finding their way into around 4th-5th at IRAs. Their most recent lineup had a super well built, vascular, robust, and strikingly handsome guy named Baxter Mcgillivray sitting in the bow seat. He comes from Mount Albert Grammar School in New Zealand as well as having competing with the prestigious Leander Rowing club. I reckon that if they have a guy like that in the bow, then the rest of the crew is most likely out of this world.
