We had all the water that was necessary, we just couldn’t pull it through.”The second varsity, however, took advantage of every meter of water available to eek out a gold medal win—the boat’s fourth in five seasons. No. 1 Harvard, undefeated and untested in the dual season, fell back by as much as a length to Yale in the opening 1000 meters in Sunday’s final. A strong first 500 from Wisconsin...
