Men's Crew

The Crimson decisively swept the Harvard-Yale boat race (the varsity winning by 41.3 seconds), to cap a strong season. The men's heavyweight varsity won every race except the Eastern Sprints, where they were a close second to Wisconsin. That result, combined with victories by the freshman and JV crews, earned Harvard the Rowe Cup, awarded for overall supremacy in heavyweight events.
