Sophomores Dan Leichus and Adam Brodheim earned two top-ten finishes in the B division to place 10th. Capozzi handled crew responsibilities for all eight races junior while Ansel Duff and freshman William Bloxham rotated in and out as skipper as the Crimson’s A-division boat placed 13th.

STU NELSON TROPHY

As the coeds competed across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the women headed to Connecticut to compete in the Stu Nelson Trophy hosted by Connecticut College. Yale and Brown went back and forth all weekend, with Yale ultimately taking first.

Harvard was bolstered by the strong performance of junior crew Ashleigh English and sophomore skipper Sophie Bermudez. The two teamed up to take seventh in the B division on a victory and two runner-up finishes.

The Crimson’s performance varied throughout the regatta. In the A division, Harvard could not establish a rhythm, as senior Caitlin Watson and sophomore Kristina Jakobson placed all over the board as they struggled to a 16th-place finish. The Crimson finished the regatta 12th out of 18 teams, and, moving forward, will look to learn from its experiences with the challenging wind.

“We knew going into the weekend that heavy wind sailing was one of our weaknesses that we really need to work on,” Drumm said. “Our main focus now is our big qualifier this weekend at MIT for the Atlantic Coast Championships, so we’re focusing more on that at practice this week.”
