In a weekend that witnessed the men’s and women’s heavyweight and lightweight crew teams in action, the men’s heavyweights stole the show by garnering the Adams Cup on Saturday afternoon.
In a separate competition for the Goldthwaite Cup, which also took place on Saturday, the men’s lightweights won second. The No. 8 Radcliffe heavyweights finished last against seven other teams during the Case Cup races, and the women’s lightweights finished in third place behind No. 1 Princeton and No. 2 Wisconsin on Mercer Lake, N.J.
Men’s Heavyweights
Harvard captured the Adams Cup and a victory over Penn and Navy on the windy Charles River.
Coming off of a tremendous win over Brown and a tough loss against Princeton, No. 3 Harvard faced tough competition from No. 7 Penn.
“We didn’t especially dominate the race,” said captain Jason Craw. “The conditions were rough, and we didn’t get off of the line well.”
The Crimson took a commanding lead in the first 500 meters of the race and held onto that advantage for the remainder of the race.
