The three-day regatta begins on Friday morning and concludes on Sunday afternoon.

Following the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges Men's Sprints, Syracuse earned an at-large invitation to the 2015 IRA Regatta. In its history, the Orange has won six national titles in the varsity eight competition, the main event of the national championship regatta. Syracuse's top boat last took home top honors in 1978.

The Orange will send four boats to the waters of Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J. The first varsity eight, second varsity eight, third varsity eight, and varsity four crews all will participate in their respective national championship competitions.

Racing begins on Friday morning at 8 a.m. with the first varsity eight heats. The first and second varsity eight heats will go off in 15-minute increments. The third varsity eight, freshmen eight, and varsity four heats will begin at 10 a.m. and proceed in 12-minute increments.

The top-two finishers in each heat advance to Saturday's semifinals, while all the others will go on to the repechages, which will be held Friday afternoon beginning at 2 p.m. The winner of each of the four repechages will advance to the first and second semifinals, which are for spots in the grand and petite finals. The other crews will go to the third and fourth semifinals, which determine third and fourth level finals placements.

Syracuse will compete in the semifinals of the IRA Regatta on Saturday on Mercer Lake.

"I thought we raced hard, but did not have the speed to make the top-12," head coach Dave Reischman stated. "We do have a lot of racing left to do and I know our athletes will keep putting in the effort down the course."

The Orange sent out four boats at the national championship; the first varsity eight, second varsity eight, third varsity eight, and varsity four crew. All four boats participated in their respective morning heats on Friday and later rowed in the repechages.

The first varsity eight boat finished in sixth place in the third heat on Friday morning. Syracuse came back in the afternoon and finished in third place in the second rep, clocking in at 5:56.284. The boat improved by more than 20 seconds in its two sessions on Friday. The first varsity eight crew will participate in the third semifinal race on Saturday at 10:48 a.m.

Syracuse's second varsity eight crew placed fourth in its morning heat. Like the first varsity eight, the second varsity eight boat improved in the afternoon rep, placing second in 6:01.593. The Orange will participate in the fourth semifinal on Saturday morning 11:24 a.m.
