PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 18 Harvard-Radcliffe heavyweight crew team finished fourth in the team standings at the 2016 Ivy League Championships, held Sunday morning on Lake Carnegie.

The Black and White finished with 50 points, behind Brown (83), Princeton (80) and Yale (65). Princeton earned the automatic berth to the NCAA Championships with a five-second win over the No. 1 team in the nation.

The varsity eight won the petite final with a time of 6:46.239. The second varsity and varsity four each took fourth in their respective grand finals.

The second varsity, stroked by Emma Nealis, posted a second-place finish in its heat to advance to the grand final with a time of 6:42.618. Against Brown, Princeton and Yale, the Bears and Tigers separated themselves from the pack, with Brown clocking a 0.9 second win over Princeton.
