CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The program recently wrapped up an extraordinary long weekend in Washington, D.C., combining high-level athletic competition at the Bob Kemp Lacrosse Classic with immersive cultural, professional, and civic experiences. The trip was highlighted by a competitive and successful match up against Navy with a Sunday scrimmage at Georgetown Prep.
The weekend provided a developed and engaging experience that balanced competitive play, career development, and community engagements. The Crimson kicked off their trip Saturday (10/10) morning with an alumni networking event. Giving student athletes an invaluable opportunity to engage with alumni, gain career insights, and draw inspiration from Harvard's immense network. The team then held a practice at Washington Jesuit Academy, spending time taking photos and signing autographs for fans who came out to watch.
Off the field, student-athletes had the distinct privilege Saturday afternoon of visiting the United States Supreme Court for a tour led by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This was followed by a walkthrough of the U.S. Capitol building and its historic surroundings. The afternoon offered a unique perspective into American history, leading to end of the night where the team gathered for a dinner at Carmine's in downtown D.C.
On Sunday (10/11), the men's team delivered a competitive performance in a scrimmage against the Navy Academy; this was concluded with post-game fan engagements. The Crimson concluded their stay with a reflective tour of the National Mall: visiting the Lincoln, World War II, Vietnam Veterans, and Korean War Veterans Memorials.
