We’re back today to get you caught up on the latest from Syracuse’s Olympic Sports as the spring sports calendar ramps up.
Women’s Rowing:
The Orange moved up to #9 in this week’s poll and despite being swept by #3 Yale at the Cayuga Cup, Syracuse took 2nd behind the Bulldogs, but a close loss in the V8 shows that this year’s Orange will be able to compete at a high level this season.
The Syracuse crews will compete next weekend at the Ivy Invite in Princeton, N.J.
Softball (12-16, 1-9):
Syracuse got
their first ACC win of the season with a 9-6 victory in extra innings at Pitt. Madison Knight drove home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning in a game that featured three home runs by the Orange- including a grand slam from Kaimi Tulua
The Panthers came back to take the final two games winning 6-5 and then 5-4 in 8 innings. The Orange head to Boston College next weekend.
Track and Field:
The highlight of this weekend’s competition was a new Syracuse school record in the 10k. Peter Walsdorf ran a 28:14 to set his second school record of 2026.

Emeline Clark won both the women’s 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles, Esther Ganda was 1st in the 200m, Shayla Ford won the 400m and Luise Hiltzbleck took 1st in the women’s 1500.
