CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sarah Baker, The David K. Richards '61 Family Head Coach for Radcliffe Lightweight Crew, is set to welcome four incoming student-athletes to the Harvard-Radcliffe Lightweight Rowing roster this fall. The newcomers hail from Massachusetts, New York and California.
"We are excited to welcome our incoming student-athletes to the team and to the Class of 2025 at Harvard," said Baker. "This group of amazing young women remained positive and continued to find success academically and athletically over the last year and half. We look forward to integrating this incoming class into our squad and, as we get back to racing the fall, seeing their immediate impact on the success of our program."
Radcliffe Lightweight Rowing is set to make its return this October at the Head of the Charles Regatta, its first competition since the completion of the 2019 fall season.
