The Power 10: Men's V8+, entering championship season

RPI 2002 (CI 1903–2099). King's Crown A Final winners on April 26 (6:05.6); also took the 1984 Challenge Cup and the Mercer Lake Sprints. The model's most confident statement at the top of the boat class.
RPI 1946 (CI 1782–2112). 2nd at King's Crown four seconds behind Greenwich. The widest interval in the top five — strong recent form, smaller body of cross-region racing.
RPI 1923 (CI 1796–2056). NEIRA's leading entrant; won the Noxontown men's 2V A Final and ran 2nd in the men's V8 A Final on April 25 (4:30.4).
RPI 1879 (CI 1792–1962). Twelve races on the books — the most in the top five. Won King's Crown B Final after losing the semi; lost to Greenwich by 2.7 seconds at Mercer Lake on April 19.
RPI 1856 (CI 1773–1937). Capital Crew League winners; ran second to Norcal at the San Diego Crew Classic A Final on March 29.
RPI 1844 (CI 1757–1929). Took the San Diego Crew Classic on the last weekend of March; sit on top of Marin in the same regional league.
RPI 1835 (CI 1753–1918). 3rd at Mercer Lake Sprints behind Greenwich and PNRA/Mercer; took silver in the King's Crown B Final.
RPI 1816 (CI 1745–1885). 3rd at the King's Crown A Final — the only Midwestern crew to make a top-three appearance against the Mid-Atlantic field this spring.
RPI 1796 (CI 1701–1896). 4th in the King's Crown A Final; 4th at Mercer Lake Sprints. Inside the cluster but not yet beating it.
RPI 1792 (CI 1735–1848). The tightest interval in the top ten — four wins in four spring outings, all inside the WMIRA / Mid-Atlantic schools circuit.
