Harvard rowing continues mastery of Yale
LEDYARD, Conn.– Harvard rowing continued its mastery of Yale, sweeping the
annual regatta between the longtime rivals for the fourth straight year.
The races, held late this afternoon in varying condition on the Thames
River, were dominated by the Crimson.
Harvard’s varsity won the featured four-mile affair by nearly four lengths
19:05.7 to 19:19.1 breaking open what had been a tight race late in the
second mile. The victory increased the Crimson’s series lead to 92-54 in
what is America’s oldest intercollegiate athletic event, dating to 1852
and a race on New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee.
The Crimson’s second varsity set a three-mile course record as part of a
30.1-second win, its time of 13:38.0 shattering the old mark, set in a 1994
Harvard win, by better than 13 seconds. Similar to the varsity contest,
Harvard broke open a tight race in the second mile.
The freshmen raced in what turned out to be the day’s roughest water, with
Harvard handling the chop efficiently en route to a 9:03.2 to 9:24.2
victory.
The victories allowed all three Harvard boats to complete undefeated dual
seasons. Both Harvard and Yale will race next week at the Intercollegiate
Rowing Association Championships on the Cooper River in New Jersey. That
event is considered the collegiate national championship.
