Women's Crew
Rugged Radcliffe
The Radcliffe crew showed the benefits of last year’s rebuilding effort with a solid showing at the Head of the Charles Regatta over the weekend. The heavyweight squad followed up a second-place finish at the Head of the Housatonic with 17th- and 22nd-place finishes for the first and second varsity eight boats in the Championship Eight event, in addition to a fourth-place showing in the Championship Fours. The lightweights fielded two boats in one event.

Alumna Returns To Race in First Head of the Charles
It’s so easy to forget. To forget the joy of wind at your feet or the force of an oar through water. When our pursuit of excellence becomes more urgent than our pursuit of happiness, it can be so easy to lose sight of the reasons we picked up our sport in the first place. It’s so easy to forget, but thanks to my good friend Alex Kuschner, I never had to.
