CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-The Radcliffe
lightweight varsity eight earned a top-five finish at the 45th Head
of the Charles Regatta while the top Black and White heavyweight
entry placed 13th, rowing through an unusual mid-October snowfall
Sunday on the Charles River.
The Black and White lightweights finished fifth in the
lightweight women's eights event with a time of 18:26.343.
Radcliffe placed third among collegiate varsity crews, trailing
only winner Wisconsin and third-place Georgetown, more than two
seconds ahead of rival Princeton. The Tigers reached the Cambridge
Boat Club two seconds quicker than the Black and White, but
Radcliffe finished strong, gaining four seconds on Princeton in
less than three minutes of rowing. The Black and White second
varsity eight finished in 19:01.044 for 11th place in the 14-boat
field. That boat missed the top 10 by less than a second, as McGill
crossed the line in 19:00.857.
Radcliffe's top two heavyweight boats competed in the
championship women's eights Sunday afternoon. The varsity eight
crossed the finish line in 17:24.968 to take 13th in a field of 32
entries. ASR Neureus won the race, while Radcliffe took ninth among
collegiate varsities. Radcliffe cup rivals Northeastern and
Dartmouth had faster times to the Riverside Boat Club than the
Black and White, but the Radcliffe varsity picked up the pace by
the time it reached Weld Boathouse and went on to finish nearly
three seconds ahead of the 14th-place Huskies and 25 ahead of the
18th-place Big Green.
The Radcliffe second varsity eight also competed in the
championship eights, placing 22nd in 17:56.641. The Black and White
also had an entry in Saturday's club eights event. Radcliffe took
ninth place of 41 competing crews in that event in 18:04.887.

the club singles event Saturday, finishing more than 13 seconds
ahead of her nearest competitor in 21:17.144. Anne Browning '00,
representing the Radcliffe Association of Rowing Alumnae, placed
third in the master singles Sunday.
