Coxed by Sarah Tadiri and stroked by Todd Sukolsky, the BU men's crew freshman eight boat continued its impressive season by recording its best result at the Eastern Sprints in over 40 years on Sunday. Other members include Constantinos Gioulekas, Matthew Given, Marko Bezbradica, David Fette and the twin brothers, Andrew Ruprcht and Charles Ruprecht.

Seeded fourth, BU posted the fastest time of the three heats during the morning session before finishing fourth during the afternoon in its first Grand Final appearance since 2007. The Terriers' previous top performance was a third-place showing in 1966.

The freshmen went through the spring dual season undefeated, including impressive wins over Brown and Wisconsin, and will look to make noise at the IRAs in two weeks.
