IRCA/IRA Coaches Poll – April 24

This week, the IRCA/IRA poll, which thus far has been ranking the varsity eights for the DI heavyweight, DIII, and lightweight men, is expanding to include the second and third varsity eights for the heavyweights and second varsity eights for DIII, along with the team points totals for all three categories. This week sees a new #1 ranking for the heavyweights as Princeton, who defeated then-top-ranked Harvard last weekend, sits atop the varsity eight poll. Washington, however, is the top ranked team in the IRA Ten Eyck Team Points poll on the strength of their #1-ranked second and third varsity eights, along with their #2 varsity eight.

While the DIII Varsity Eight poll was consistent from last week in the top-five positions, the Team Points poll shows the competitiveness of the top schools, with Trinity and Williams tied for third place and Tufts receiving a mere 1.5 points more to find themselves in second. Wesleyan sit atop the DIII Team Points poll.

The Penn lightweights made a big jump from fourth to second position after defeating #2 Princeton and #6 Georgetown last weekend. The Lightweight Men’s Team Points Trophy Poll reveals the competitiveness at the top of the field, with Harvard and Penn tied in first and Princeton and Cornell tied for third.
