April, 15
The Yale lightweights were not quite up to the task of unseating number one ranked Harvard on their home course on the Charles, but they gave it a good go, forcing Harvard to row the Bulldogs down with just under 500 meters to go. The rest of the day was equally mixed, with the fifth-ranked 1F beating #4 Harvard but falling to #3 Princeton, while the 2V finished third and failed to improve their seed for the Sprints. Like the 1F, the 3V beat Harvard but fell to Princeton. And in the closest result of the day, the 2F 4+ edged Harvard in a nip-and-tuck 2000 meter battle, a real classic. Full results here.
