Unfortunately for the Crimson, they officially placed only second because of close, illegal, and, to be perfectly honest, rather mysterious encounters with four different buoy markers. Despite the fact that her boat started first, traveled fastest, and thus avoided any interference problems with other boats, the Crimson cox, Liz-Ellen LaFollette managed to steer the scull on the wrong side of four buoys. I guess Harvard sometimes has to make gestures that will keep the other crews coming back for more. Like the men's heavyweight varsity loss to Yale at the sprints for the first time since...
This year's program of 18 events includes two new races, a mixed eight (four men, four women and cox), and the men's midweight single for scullers up to 170 lbs. Entries in most events have reached the limit...
...result of the staggered start is something on the order of a demolition derby, especially in the novice and youth events, where coxswains are less experienced.

...miles gone and you're heading into that Eliot turn. Remember the heart attacks you had as a freshman cox, how you hated practice upstream because you couldn't make that turn going downstream, how the coach yelled as you drifted into the center of the river? Well, now imagine all those coxswains who didn't grow up on the Charles, and they're seeing that turn for the first time. And freaking. And spilling over the buoys into your course. Hold your water, yell at them, and put your port oars over the buoys. Don't miss...
