“We definitely learned a lot about racing in light air,” Lambert said, “And dealing with frustration and getting back into the race despite being frustrated.”

CENTRAL SERIES BC CONFERENCE REGATTA

While their upperclassmen counterparts were racing against schools from all corners of the country, the Crimson freshmen took on more regional foes in the Central Series hosted by Boston College. Only the host school and the University of Vermont were able to top the rookies, who placed third out of 11 schools.

Just like their upperclassmen teammates, the B boat led the way as Sam Millham and Jin Zang took third in the division with 42 points.

Their A boat teammates, Ryan Byrne and Sarah McCuskee, also fared well on the waters, notching fourth place in the A division and scoring two first-place finishes in the process.

The article also misspelled the name of Ryan Byrne as Ryan Burne.
