Sophomore Caitlin Watson and freshman Emma Smith sailed in the B-division, tallying one top-five finish. The pair did not start in the final race of the regatta, which hurt their score and gave them 117 points on the weekend and a 14th place finish.
In the C-division, the sophomore pair of Alice Kenney and Luke O’Connor took home one first-place finish, but eventually ended the weekend in 11th place.
At the end of the weekend, Harvard took in 12th place overall of the 16 teams, as Tufts, Dartmouth, and Vermont snapped up the top spots, respectively.
BC INVITATIONAL
The BC Invitational started under overcast skies and breezy conditions, continuing the trend of difficult weather conditions for the competitors from Cambridge. For yet another regatta, the racing was canceled on Sunday due to a lack of breeze.
“There was definitely a solid breeze, which was better for those who had bigger pairs,” sophomore Ames Lyman said. “There was a ton of current, and it was a factor that I had personally never raced in a high-current situation like that.”
In the A-division, Lyman and sophomore Catherine Philbin earned three top-10 finishes, earning 116 points and finishing eighth.
Freshman Ansel Duff and classmate Ashleigh Inglis won a top-five finish in the B-division and ended the day with 135 points and an eighth place finish.
Yale won the regatta, edging out Dartmouth and Boston University. Harvard finished eighth overall.
