In the A division, senior Caitlin Watson and sophomore Kristina Jakobson finished in 14th place with 135 points. Junior Ashleigh Inglis and sophomore Sophie Bermudez provided the better finish in fifth place, with 98 points.

MIT took first across the board, finishing up with a total of 134 points and Yale was right behind with 151, after taking third in both A and B divisions.

33RD LYNNE MARCHIANDO REGATTA

The Crimson was back on familiar waters for the third regatta on the Charles this weekend, this one being hosted by MIT. After a later start on Saturday due to a rowing regatta, 16 teams were matched up to begin the two-day round-robin style of competing. The boats being used were mixed, mostly FJs but then Fireflies for tiebreakers.

“The first day we sailed every team 15 times,” junior Michael Drumm said. “With this, there is a high emphasis on staying in control of opponents to help your own team do better. Covering, or getting in front and in control of the other boats on the water, was a strength for us this weekend.”

His twin Brian, classmate Gram Slattery, senior Isabel Ruane, sophomore Jacob Bradt, and freshman Julia Lord accompanied Drumm in this regatta. Harvard finished in ninth place.

“I think our communication has improved a lot, but it’s something to keep working on” Michael Drumm said. “In these races, there are three boats. We need to work together, so communication is a big part of that.”

Heading into next week, the Crimson faces its first qualifying regatta for the spring nationals. There will be many teams competing, but Drumm is confident. Harvard has competed against and beaten each of the teams at least once this year.

“As a whole, the main thing the team is working on is making sure that we compete at the same level every weekend, and that we have the mentality to make sure we do it,” Capozzi said.
