'02 finished 3rd with a time of 0:55.0. '92 finished second with a time of 0:51.0. '67 finished first with a time of 0:49.5. For details see elsewhere on this site. The competition began at 7:30 a.m.
The Challenge
The Row consisted of one final heat, using eight-man shells. The heat begins at the near side of the Harvard Bridge and ends at the far side of the boathouse pier. All boats compete with a handicap of 1.5 seconds for every five years out.
