Harvard's winning team of

The team's second squad of

The regatta opened on Saturday with Harvard's coed team navigating the initial round robin at 7-0, while the women went 4-3 to finish in a five-way tie for second.
A Sunday morning sail-off saw the Crimson women race to a 3-1 mark, good enough to join their teammates in the final four alongside Brown and Boston College.
The two final round-robins played out identically, with the Crimson teams going 3-0 and 1-2, respectively, in both rounds. Harvard's coed boats continued to dominate the field by taking the first and second in each of its head-to-head matchups on the way to the title.
Meanwhile, the Harvard women twice defeated Boston College to post a 2-4 final four record, finishing in third behind their Crimson counterparts as well Brown.
