...performance of the spring season en route to an easy first-place finish.Harvard swept both divisions on its way to just 225 points, 26 ahead of second-place Boston College.

The B-division saw sophomore skipper Kyle Kovacs and freshman crew Jon Garrity take first-place by a five-point margin over Georgetown, which faltered a bit in A-division on its way to an eighth-place finish.
