Last year, the varsity, second varsity and second freshman crew all took third place. The third varsity boat won its division and the first freshman boat placed fourth.

The Harvard lightweight crews have won a combined 65 Eastern Sprints titles, 23 of which belong to the varsity boat. The JV boat has won 24 crowns, the most of any crew in any division.

The Harvard lightweight streak of racing in the Grand Final leaves no doubt about the Crimson's potential this weekend-the varsity boat has raced in the Grand Finals in all 55 years of Eastern Sprints.
