Seemed all crews were in that early 35ish cadence for base so it'll be fun to see what other gears crews have.
Two things I noticed about that Princeton video.
1. I have seen them sharper than that in the past.
2. They did not look like they were gunning it by any means.
Maybe they didn't look like they were going for it because they just aren't as skilled as they have been in the past? Maybe they looked dull because they didn't attempt to go through their entire gear box?
I think Princeton will be fine this year. They won't contend but they'll be in the upper midfield.
Social media tells me that Brown looks super sharp at the moment. I expect them to have a very good season.
