This season has been one of learning and building for the Harvard lightweight crew team. The varsity eight won just two dual races this season—against Penn and MIT—and failed to make the Grand Final at Eastern Sprints for the first time in the history of the competition.“I think [Sprints] was a really disappointing finish to the season for all our boats, because it was a little bit worse than what we wanted to do,” junior coxswain Kevin He said...

...There have been a lot of interesting results. No crew has distinguished themselves above and beyond every other crew,” assistant coach Cory Bosworth said after Eastern Sprints. “Any crew that goes to the tournament has a real shot at the Grand Finals. It makes it a little nerve-wracking, though I am really proud of our racing this year.”Opening the spring with a bang by racing defending NCAA champion Brown, the Black and White kicked off an exciting racing season, suffering just a four-seat loss in the varsity eight...
