The lightweight crews scored a clean sweep over M.I.T. Saturday. The varsity race was close, but the JV and first and second freshman boats won by margins which Coach Joe Brown called "ridiculous."
After having been behind a full length at the Harvard Bridge, the varsity 150-pounders won by seven seconds in the time of 7:46. Last year the race was even closer, and Harvard won by less than two seconds.
The JV came in five lengths ahead of M.I.T. Rowing against a strong head-wind, in what Brown described as the "worst racing conditions I've ever seen," the JV posted a time of 8:40.
Five lengths was also the winning margin of the first freshman boat, which won in 6:15. The fastest time of the day was recorded by the second freshman boat, which beat its rivals by seven lengths and 35 seconds to finish in 7:44.
