What to Know

• Harvard battled through tough conditions last week in competing in the Duplin Trophy Women's Team Race (Cambridge, Mass.) and the Friis Trophy Team Race (Bristol, R.I.), but managed to record a pair of top-5 finishes.
• The Crimson tied for the second-best record with Boston College at the Duplin Trophy, but finished in third place in a field of 10 teams, following an 0-2 mark vs. the Eagles. Harvard's lineup included skippers Cordelia Burn, Sarah Burn and Zoey Ziskind, and crew members Emily Launderville, Lily Bartlett and Margo Silliman.
• Down in The Ocean State at the Friis Trophy, Harvard finished in a three-way tie for third with Tufts and the U.S. Coast Guard, but came in fourth place after defeating the Bears and falling to the Jumbos. Robby Meek, Lachlain McGranahan, Justin Callahan and Mitchell Callahan were skippers, with Marbella Marlo, Xavier Ayala-Vermont, Matthew Cabot, Aidan Pesce, Kennedy Leehealey and JJ Drummond serving as crew.
• Harvard has finished in the top-5 in all seven regattas this spring, including six straight top-4 performances. The Crimson has also won a race in three of the first four weekends of 2024, capturing the Sharpe Trophy, Wood Trophy and Graham Hall Trophy.
• The Crimson a season ago took third at the eight-team Marchiando Trophy. Justin Callahan, Mitchell Callahan, McGranahan and Leehealey are back from that group, which posted a 10-4 record at MIT's regatta.
