Fall racing report:
For the fourth time in five years, the Yale lightweights have finished as the top college at the Head of the Charles. The winner, New York Athletic Club, featured many elite-level oarsmen, including former Eli lightweight Eric Feins ‘02. In the tightest collegiate field in recent memory, Yale finished 4.5 seconds ahead of a five-boat EARC pack. The Yale 2V, a qualifier from the 2002 regatta, failed to place within 5% of the winner, finishing 20th. In the lightweight 4+, Yale placed 9th overall and third among EARC colleges. The Youth 8+ were unable to hold onto their fourth place starting position, dropping to 17th. For full results, go the official Charles website at:www.hocr.org.
