June, 4
Y150 won the national championship by 5.0963 inches today on the Cooper River in Camden, NJ today. In a thrilling race which saw the three Sprints medalists Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth go at it virtually level for 2000 meters, it was Yale who got their bowball to the front when the finish line flag dropped.
The victory today was Yale’s fourth national title since 2000, and it will send the crew to Henley Royal Regatta in late June.
Congratulations to the Eli lightweight crew of 2011: coxswain Emma McBurney, stroke and captain Andrew Hakanson, 7-seat Colin Corcoran, 6-seat Dave Walker, 5-seat Tom Swartz, 4-seat William Zeng, 3-seat Greg Hausheer, 2-seat Brendan Harrington, and bow seat Trey Chandler. Watch the full race here.
