Why does it not surprise me that the Naval Academy seems to be strong in crew?

cMax30s Rankings
National Poll

The cMax30s rank 121 heavyweight men's varsity eights.

A new (for rowing), "scientific" ranking system that takes into account the times of all race results. The model, "uses a well-known statistical technique called OLS (ordinary least squares). It is based on the premise that although individual race results may vary, if Team A is on average 2 seconds better than Team B, and if B is on average 2 seconds better than Team C, then, on average, Team A will beat Team C by 4 seconds."

By these results, Georgetown would lose to top-rated Harvard by 17.6 seconds on average each time they raced. If these rankings hold true, the Hoyas should lose to Yale by 4 seconds tomorrow.

Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championships (Lightweights and Heavyweights) (Camden, NJ)

[CAHoya07]

Disappointing finish for the lightweight 1V, finishing a distant 5th in a race they could have challenged for the win. Let's hope they get it together for IRA's.

[Nevada Hoya]

Tragedy struck for men's rowing, when a BC rower died after his race in the Dad Vail Regatta.
