ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The heavyweight and lightweight crews from Hubbard Hall will continue their fall competition schedule with racing at the 2019 Princeton Chase this Sunday morning. Starting with the Men's Heavyweight Eights event at 9 a.m., the Navy contingent will have six heavyweight crews in action, while the lightweights bring a quartet of crews that'll race twice. The lightweights will compete in the Men's Lightweight Eights at 10:00 a.m. before round two of the same event goes off at 11:45 a.m. to conclude the action. The head style racing event will take place on a three-mile stretch of Lake Carnegie in Princeton, N.J.

With six boats in their 9 a.m. race, the Mids' heavyweight team will go up against schools such as Columbia, Dartmouth, Drexel, Princeton, Penn, Saint Joseph's, Washington, Wisconsin and Yale.
