The Charles is the Charles. The Y150s took to the windy Beantown Basin to take on M.I.T. and Georgetown in early-morning Joy Cup racing. Though not early enough to avoid 15+ mph winds, all three squads faced challenging conditions throughout the course, and it was even deemed necessary to shorten the 3V 4+s race to 1000 meters for safety. The Elis emerged victorious in all races today, including an exciting varsity race, which was virtually bowball-to-bowball between Yale and the Hoyas until the last strokes. Yale claimed a 0.9 second victory in that race, and had bigger margins in the others. Full results here.
