ITHACA, N.Y. – The Hamilton College Continentals defeated the Ithaca College Bombers in several head-to-head races as part of the Cornell University Autumn Classic on Cayuga Inlet on Saturday morning, Nov. 1.
There were two rounds of racing with the first round at 9 a.m. and the second at 10. The course length was 4,000 meters in the first round, but it was shortened to 3,300 meters due to wind for the second round.
Hamilton finished 19.4 seconds ahead of Ithaca in the varsity eight with a time of 15:31.1, and 42.3 seconds in front of the Bombers in the second varsity eight with a time of 15:56.4. The Continentals' frosh/novice eight was 30.8 seconds faster than Ithaca's third varsity eight in 17:09.
The same scenario played out later that morning in the second round of racing. Hamilton ended up 23.6 seconds ahead of the Bombers in the varsity eight with a time of 13:35.6, and the Continentals edged Ithaca by 2.8 seconds in the second varsity eight in 14:40.6.
The Cornell event was the last one this fall for Hamilton, which will begin the spring season portion of its schedule in late March or early April 2026.
