CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Brown freshmen eight boat picked up a second-place finish in the Men's Club 8 event as the Bears kicked off the first day of competition at the Head of the Charles Regatta on Saturday in Cambridge, Mass.
The Brown eight-man boat, composed entirely of athletes in their first year rowing at Brown, came down the course with crews from Northeastern, Harvard and Boston University on their heels. The race was hotly contested with no clear indication on which boat navigated the 4,800-meter course in the fastest time. After the event, the results indicated that Brown had finished second, just 4.8 seconds behind the entry from Northeastern.
Brown's second entry in the Club event also had a strong showing despite having to deal with significant boat traffic issues during the race, and moved up from their 17th place starting position to finish 10th in the event.
In the Alumni 8 event, composed entirely of graduates from their respective universities, the entry from Brown also finished second, just two seconds behind Northeastern.
Brown continues racing at the Head of the Charles tomorrow when the Bears send two crews to the Champion 8, the highest level of competition at the event. The race will start at 2:03 p.m. For more information, visit www.HOCR.org.
