Let me push back a little here. So your contention is that, in a century and a half of racing on Cayuga Lake, the two best boats *EVER* happened to show up on the *SAME DAY* and it had little to do with the wind?

Out of the literally more than one thousand boats ever to have left the starting line at Cornell, by coincidence the two best of all time were Princeton and Yale on 27 April 2024?

So I presume that you are confident Princeton and Yale will finish one-two at Sprints and then again at IRAs?

Methinks the Cornell coaches were lowballing you when they called the tailwind at 10 mph, don't you? More likely than Princeton and Yale winning gold and silver at IRAs.

By the way, as long as I'm pushing back, I stand by my earlier statement in this thread. Since a regulation collegiate crew race is 2000 meters, I think a 5000 meter race in a 25 mph tailwind is going to set a record of some sort.
