DALE ENGLAND CUP ENDS IN 3-WAY TIE FOR FIRST
After weather postponed the racing on the first day of the Dale England Cup, the schedule was adjusted so that all four teams – Indiana, Notre Dame, Duke and Navy – would race in the same heat and would go against each other twice on Saturday.
When the dust had settled following the afternoon session of racing, there was a 3-way tie for first place between Indiana, Duke and Notre Dame. The predetermined tiebreaker would be the team with the best combined times in the two 1V8 races. After the times were added up, it was Notre Dame that was declared the winner with IU just 0.85 of a second behind. The Hoosiers won the morning session against the Irish with a time of 6:45.7, just 0:00.3 ahead of Notre Dame. In the afternoon session, the Irish were able to pull ahead at the end and win by 1.1 second.

The 1V8 opened with a third place finish against No. 3 Virginia and No. 14 Washington State in the first heat and then came back in the afternoon and finished first in their heat, edging out UCLA and Radcliffe. The third session of racing the following day pitted IU against No. 8 Texas and it was the Longhorns that earned the win in the heat with IU finishing second.
