CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – No. 1 Harvard-Radcliffe Lightweight Rowing hosts Boston University and MIT to compete for the Beanpot Trophy, while also racing Gordon and Sacred Heart on the Charles River on Saturday morning. The first of six lightweights races launches for a 7:50 a.m. start time with the novice four leading off. Harvard-Radcliffe's Beanpot will alternate races with the Harvard men's heavyweight's Compton Cup against Princeton.

Beanpot Weekend Notes
