(Oct 21) The Head of the Charles 2012 is the first chance for the EARC lightweights to get together and race, and Y150 saw some terrific competition. It was a good day on the river, and an upgrade to 2011’s results. Starting 5th, the Yale eight had to pass Georgetown to finish 4th overall. The two Yale fours had a cleaner run, and the ‘A’ four finished second, 1.68 seconds behind NYAC, with Colin Corcoran ‘11 at 2-seat. The ‘B’ four finished 4th on time, but 3rd place Ottawa was penalized, moving Yale ‘B’ up to 3rd. This is the 2nd year in a row that Yale has finished 2-3 in the lightweight four.
