UW First In Championship Fours, Fifth In Eights At Head Of The Charles
October 20, 2024 | Men's Rowing
Washington won the men's championship fours and finished in the top five in both the men's and women's championships eights at the Head of the Charles Regatta, Sunday.
Washington won the men's fours event for the first time in program history. UW was just the second college crew to win the event since 2012.
The UW varsity crew finished fifth in the men's championship eights, third among U.S. college crews, while the two Washington crews in the women's championship eights took third and fourth place overall, second and third among U.S. colleges. Both championships eights events included 30 crews, mostly from American colleges, but also from European clubs and universities.
The Head of the Charles, the world's largest three-day regatta, features time-trail races over a three-mile course down the Charles River in 73 different race categories over the three days.
Washington's men's four finished the course in 15:34.721, just shy of 10 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, a U.S. Rowing crew. Princeton's "A" entry was third, just ahead of a Swiss entry.
In the Championship Eights, the UW men finished with a time of 13: 59.529. A crew from Cambridge University in the U.K. won, with a time of 13:46.333.
Washington entered two crews in the Women's Championship Eights, and those two finished in second and third, with times of 15:36.343 and 15:45.967, respectively. An experienced British crew, competing as Leander Club, won the race, in 15:30.611. Yale's "A" entry was second.
On Saturday, a UW crew, which featured eight athletes with Olympics experience, won the men's alumni eight event, besting a field of 47 crews. The Husky shell finished nearly 12 seconds ahead of the second-place Brown alumni.
Washington also finished fifth – out of 52 entries – in the women's alumnae eight race on Saturday, while a crew made up of freshmen members of the men's team took 8th place, out of 36, in the men's club eights race.
