The Head of The Charles was a great success for Wesleyan this year. On Saturday the 22nd, a men’s 4+ placed 5th, securing a medal for their efforts, with a time of 17:46.05.
On Sunday, the men’s 8+ finished the course with a raw time of 15:44.93, the tenth fastest time of the 40 boat race, and passed 4 crews on their way to the finish line.
Immediately following the men’s race, the women’s team powered down the course, passing several boat as well, to finish in 18:08.11, placing 11th out of 29 boats.
These results represent significant improvements in each program. Both teams have continued to grow, recruiting strong, experienced rowers year after year. Additionally, such strong performances automatically qualify all boats that raced for next year’s events. It’s been an exciting Fall, and it’s not over yet!
This weekend the Cardinals will travel to Saratoga Springs, NY for the final race of the Fall season; the Head of the Fish Regatta.
As always, here is the link to the current set of pictures I have collected from the Head of the Charles. If you would like to add photos to this for all to see, please contact Men’s Asst. Coach Justin Watson: jwatson01@wesleyan.edu.
See you in Saratoga!
