CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--The Harvard heavyweight crew
will recognize three-time Crimson national champion and
Olympic gold medalist Malcolm Howard '05 with the dedication of a
rowing shell in his honor at Newell Boathouse Saturday.
Howard went undefeated against intercollegiate competition in
his three years as a member of Harvard's varsity eight, helping the
Crimson to three straight national championships. He helped
Canada's men's eight win Olympic gold in Beijing in 2008 and
received honorable mention in the selection of the Rowing
News Male Athlete of the Year for 2009.
The dedication will occur at Newell Boathouse following the
conclusion of the Crimson's Compton Cup racing against MIT and No.
7 Princeton Saturday on the Charles River. The regatta begins at
6:36 a.m. and concludes with the varsity eight race at 8:24.
