On their home waters of the Housatonic, the Yale lightweights re-claimed the Vogel and Goldthwait Cups against arch-rivals Harvard and Princeton. Another thrilling edition of the classic H-Y-P series saw Yale take an early lead and withstand strong challenges from both the Tigers and the Crimson, who essentially wound up level only 1 second behind the victorious Eli eight. This Yale win breaks the Harvard three-year hold on the Goldthwait Cup, who broke Yale’s three-year streak in 2003. Though Harvard took home the 2V race in convincing fashion (Yale second), the 1F race was another nail-biter, which saw two lead changes before the Bulldogs outsprinted the Tigers for the win. Yale recorded two firsts, three seconds, and no thirds in the regatta, which added up to the first Vogel Cup win for the Eli since the Cup’s inaugural race in 2003. Final tally was Yale 40, and Harvard and Princeton tied at 22. For full results, click here. The H-Y-P regatta resumes in 2007 on Lake Carnegie.
