ITHACA, N.Y. – No. 5 Harvard men's heavyweight crew took three of five races from No. 7 Cornell Saturday morning at Cayuga Lake, posting solid wins in the first, second and third varsity events.

In the top event, the Crimson rowed a strong race to come away with a five-second win over the Big Red, crossing in 5:41.7. George Washington was six seconds behind Cornell.
The second varsity clocked the fastest time of the day, stopping the clock in 5:38.5. Cornell was 11 seconds behind, followed closely by George Washington.
