CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard heavyweight
and lightweight rowers battled the elements over the weekend to
take part in the 45th Head of the Charles on the Charles River.
Highlights from the event include two top eight finishes by the
heavyweights in the championship four and a third-place finsih by
the lightweight varsity eight and a fourth-place finish by the
lightweight freshman eight in the club event.
The lightweight freshman eight finished fourth overall in the
men's club eight behind heavyweight crews from Yale and
Boston University. The Crimson finished just eight seconds behind
the winning Yale boat but a buoy violation added to their time and
pushed them down to fourth. Two heavyweight boats competed in the
club eights with the varsity entry taking seventh and the freshman
boat finishing 13th.
In the lightweight men's eight, the Crimson finished third,
11th and 20th overall. Harvard's varsity eight was second
among collegiate crews and finished 0.08 seconds behind the winning
boat from the New York Athletic Club.
The Crimson heavyweight varsity eight split into two fours for the
championship event and finished third and eighth overall. Harvard
had three boats compete in the championship eights. The top Crimson
entry was seventh among U.S. colleges.
Two coaches also took part in the weekend's actives as
lightweight freshman coach Linda Muri won the senior-master
women's eight as a member of Etats Unis and Harry Parker, the
Stone Family Head Coach for Harvard Crew, was 13th in the
senior-veterans men's single.
