Like a crappy Springfest, you can just blame it on the weather...
...event for both teams. The Crimson varsity lightweights improved upon last week’s eighth-place finish at the Head of the Charles Regatta with a fourth-place showing yesterday. Last year’s champion, Harvard started first and clocked a 13:42.80 time over the 2.75 mile course, finishing 0.33 seconds behind defending national champion Yale (13:42.33). Penn (13:37.19) and Navy (13:41.24) were the top two finishers in the lightweight eight event. The Crimson junior varsity eight took 14th in a time of 14:21.24. The Radcliffe heavyweights placed 20th in the women?...
