...home the trophy, beating Boston College, 22-5, MIT, 22-5, and Brandeis, 23-4, the men met a roadblock in the form of the Judges.

...participating in the Head of the Charles as a junior and senior and deciding in her final year to continue her rowing career at Harvard.In her freshman season, she rowed for the Black and White varsity heavyweights during the 40th edition of the Head of the Charles. Despite a bout of strep throat just days before the marquee fall regatta in her sophomore season, Larsen-Strecker hit the Charles again but felt her performance suffered. An injury left her sitting out the weekend in her junior year, so this final year on her home course is a special one.And this...
