Harvard’s first novice eight scored a come-from-behind victory in one of the first races of the day, gaining a bit of revenge for its defeat in the same race last year.

The honor of having the world's tallest building passed from the U.S. in 1998, when the 1,483-ft. Petronas Towers in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur overtook the 1,450-ft. Sears Tower in Chicago.
