Head of the Charles:
While the Red Sox were taking on the Cardinals in the World Series, the Yale lightweights took on most of their spring competitors on a shortened course at the Head of the Charles. The Youth 4+ started off the day with a strong second place finish, having started 37th and passing ten crews along the way. Demonstrating the parity in the league, the lightweight eight finished in the peleton with Princeton, Georgetown, Harvard, and Penn, with only 3.6 seconds between all five crews. It was so close that if the Charles was the Tour de France, all those crews would be given the same time. Navy was out in front and the top collegiate finisher. Results here
