Sophomore captain skipper Alan Palmer teamed up with senior crew Lauren Brants for the entire weekend. Other than that combination, the lineups were thoroughly mixed for Harvard throughout the two days of contests.

The Crimson took home fifth place out of a field of eight teams, with sophomore skipper Matt Donelan and freshman crew Will White, who is also a Crimson news writer, teaming up in the A boat.
