DANMARK TROPHY

The Crimson’s Connecticut-bound contingent garnered 272 points on the weekend to secure seventh place at the Danmark regatta.

“It started off really well and kind of went downhill from there,” Bock said. “On Saturday the team was winning by I think 25 or 30 points, but we lost our lead on Sunday.”

But despite the lost lead, Harvard still had an edge on over half of its competition.

At the 20-team intersectional, senior John Stokes, junior Marie Appel, and senior Meghan Wareham took second place in the B division, no doubt the result of seven top-three finishes.

Over in the A division, senior Alan Palmer and senior captain Tedd Himler swapped skipper duties and sailed with a trio of crews in the 16-race set. Together with sophomore Alma Lafler, Palmer nabbed two first-place finishes; Bock and Wareham chipped in solid efforts as well to lift the squad to a 10th-place finish.

“On Sunday we struggled a bit more, but it provided us with a lot of good practice for our more competitive regattas coming up,” Bock said.

MIDWEEK TECH INVITATIONAL NUMBER THREE

Down the river at MIT on Sept. 30th, 20 boats sailed through high winds at the third Midweek Tech regatta. Northeastern dominated and took the top-two slots easily, but the Crimson’s Byrne and Pierson raced to a solid third-place finish with 35 points. Other Harvard boats also finished in the top fifteen.
