Not too far away, the Crimson also participated in the Boston University Bridge Invitational, bracing wind up to 21 knots on familiar territory.

In the A-division, sophomore pair Nick Waldo and Jinyan Zang failed to finish any higher than fourth in their 14 races, tallying 123 points and ninth place out of 15 teams.

For the freshman combo of Ames Lyman and Alice Kenney, the B-races yielded more of the same.

Despite finishing consistently in the top half of the standings, Lyman and Kenney never broke into the top three spots, closing the day in sixth place with 100 points.

Overall, Harvard finished eighth on the day.

32ND WOMEN’S DUPLIN TROPHY

In its last competition of the weekend, the women’s team trekked over to Tufts’ Duplin Trophy regatta, in a contest that pitted the Crimson against opponents from across the East Coast. Harvard went 10-11 on the day in the team-racing event, good enough for a fourth place finish out of seven in the regatta.

“We were really just trying to get everyone up to speed this weekend,” junior Alex Jumper said. “We’ve got a pretty wide range of skill levels in team-racing, and this gave us a chance to give it some more practice in a more structured environment.”
