Head of the Charles Report:
The Yale lightweights had good performances from all three Bulldog entries, with the lightweight 8+ and the lightweight 4+ both coming in third overall and first among the college entries. Alum Andy Liverman ‘02 had a good day as well, winning the lightweight single. Starting sixth, the lightweight 8+ overcame a Navy lead at Cambridge Boat Club to come in first among colleges, and 15 seconds behind winner Riverside BC. The lightweight 4+ also overcame a deficit to Princeton at Weld Boathouse, to finish 4 seconds ahead of the Tigers and third overall behind the Ottawa Rowing Club. The Youth 8+ started very deep, with bow # 58, but passed four crews in posting the eighth fastest time. Andy Liverman ‘02overcame a deficit to Rob Zechmann in the last stretch of the river to win by five seconds. This was Andy’s fourth win at the Head of the Charles, having won the lightweight eight in 2000 and 2001 with the Yale lightweights and the lightweight four with NYAC in 2003.
