ITHACA, N.Y. - The Ithaca sculling team opened their season at home today at the Cayuga Sprints facing opponents from RIT, St. John Fisher, Cascadilla Boat Club and the University of Massachusetts.
Each crew raced a 2k time trial, followed by a 1k sprint. Winning times were calculated by doubling the sprint time of each crew & adding it to the time from their 2k time trial.
