"Though we could see that we were pulling ahead of Michigan AMS and Massachusetts Institute of Technology... [who started fourth], we couldn't see Brown or Cornell ahead of us. We just had to pull with everything that we had and hope that it was enough." Through the body of the race, Cornell moved a little on MIT, but in the last 500 meters MIT had a strong sprint and finished with about the same margin behind Cornell as they began with. Due to technical difficulties, the race officials did not have official results by the time this article was written, so it is not known whether MIT actually beat Cornell. "Regardless of the outcome, we rowed aggressively and had a good, strong race. It's good races like today that will make us a faster crew," Coach Hamilton said.
