"I think everyone just had a lot of fun," Levin said.

The two boats that competed at the MIT regatta also enjoyed a relaxing weekend close to home. They had to deal with the rough winds that regularly plague the Charles River, however.

"On the Charles, the wind is always kind of shifty, so we had some unexpected events happen during the race," said freshman racer Michelle Yu. "Unexpected on the Charles is normal on the Charles."

Next week, the team heads down to the Atlantic Coast Championships in what Levin calls one of the premiere events of the season.

"There aren't that many good teams that aren't East Coast teams, so all the good teams are at the Atlantic Coast Championships. It's the big fall regatta," she said.

Next weekend's event will be the final event of the team's fall before they head into the winter off-season.

Co-ed races will be held down the river at MIT, on the same course at which Harvard won the Schell Trophy just a few weeks ago. Women travel to Hobart College in northern New York, and the freshman Atlantic Coast Championships are at the University of New Hampshire.
