CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard men's lightweight rowing will travel to Lake Carnegie to take on Yale and Princeton on Saturday, April 26. The regatta will stream live on ESPN+ and the international feed.
The race will determine the winners of two historic trophies: the Goldthwait Cup (Harvard vs. Princeton) and the Vogel Cup (Harvard vs. Yale).

Harvard leads the all-time series against Yale, 59–40, dating back to 1921, and earned a four-second victory over the Bulldogs in 2024. Against Princeton, the Crimson hold a 59–42 edge in the series and won last year's contest by five seconds.

Both the first and second varsity eights remain undefeated this season, with victories over Cornell, Princeton, Georgetown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Navy, and MIT.

Harvard entered the year as the reigning IRA national champion in both the 1V and 2V events. The 1V returns nearly intact, led by standout coxswain Anya Cheng and senior captain Brahm Erdmann.

Erdmann (Auckland, New Zealand) and junior Ben Lundie (London, UK) were both named to the IRCA Lightweight Men's Watch List, underscoring the crew's elite level of experience and international caliber.
