After winning the men’s lightweight eight at the Head of the Charles for the last two years, the Yale lightweights fell back three spots to fourth in this year’s regatta. Only four seconds separated second from fourth, with NYAC the winner, ten seconds ahead of the Elis. The Yale 2V had a great row and finished seventh overall and fourth among the colleges, less than two seconds behind the 1V of Navy and Dartmouth. Yale is the only school to qualify two lightweight eights for next year’s regatta. In the Youth 8+, the Yale lights finished fourth and qualified for the 2003 regatta as well. Yale’s lightweight four remained cursed at the Charles, with a 1:00 penalty for interference. For full results, click here.
