Spring 2001 results
 
Harvard-Yale Race

Varsity: 1. Harvard, 18:55.6; 2. Yale, 19:32.7

Freshmen: 1. Harvard, 9:39.4; 2. Yale. 9:56.8

Combination: Harvard over Yale (No Time Known)

The races were run upstream on a tail current, aided by a tailwind. The Combi took the race off the line and secured that the rock would carry the Crimson H for today's races. The Freshmen followed suit and rowed away from a good Yale crew. In the JV race, Yale got off the line quickly and pulled to a length lead in the first mile. Harvard pulled back and pressed through the strong Eli crew to win. In the Varsity race, Harvard got up off the line on a fast starting Yale crew and pushed out till the end.

2nd Freshmen: 1. Princeton, 6:03.5; 2. Harvard, 6:07.4; 3. MIT, 7:08.7.

A light tailwind and calm water aided in fast racing for all crews. The Varsity rowed a hard race, but lost to a very fast Princeton crew. The JV couldn't quite match the speed of Princeton after a slow start. The Freshmen came out victorious after a hard fought battle.

 
Stein Cup (Brown)

Varsity: Harvard, 6:19.4; Brown, 6:23.6.

JV: Brown, 6:31.2; Harvard, 6:31.7.

Freshman: Brown, 6:32.3; Harvard, 6:34.3.

2nd Freshman: Brown, 6:41.8; Harvard 6:54.6.

The Harvard Varsity rowed to a 4 second victory over Brown in very rough conditions on the Charles, avenging last years loss to the eventual Eastern Sprints Champions. A strong cross headwind from the Cambridge shore and medium chop proved challenging for all crews. The Harvard JV narrowly lost a hard fought battle to a fast Brown crew. Brown's depth overpowered the Crimson, but they couldn't complete the sweep.
