Harvard Falls Just Short in Regatta

The Crimson was fortunate not to face similar weather conditions as its upperclassmen counterparts had faced on Saturday, with only a slight breeze to disrupt the boats.

“We had beautiful conditions with it being warm and sunny, but on Saturday the wind was somewhat tricky,” freshman Ben Lamont said. “[The wind] was much better on Sunday though.”

The conference regatta was split into two divisions, with Harvard freshmen Ames Lyman, Luke O’Connor and Alice Kenney in the A-division, and Lamont, Grant Wonders, and Nicholas Gordon competing in the B-Division.

Each division competed in six races on Saturday and another six on Sunday.

The A-Division started off well with two top finishes on Saturday, but the Crimson fell to a sixth-place finish Sunday.

“Lyman sailed really well for us this weekend, giving our team some much-needed first-place finishes,” Lamont said.

Despite garnering first- and second-place finishes on Sunday, the B-Division squad got off to a slow start and finished eighth overall.

Roger Williams University won the regatta, while the two Harvard teams combined to finish the weekend in sixth place.
