At the 49th edition of the Head of the Charles Regatta, the Trinity College first-varsity eight crew posted a second-place time of 17:48.154, just 1.39 seconds behind NCAA Division II Grand Valley State’s boat in first place in the collegiate eights race. The two boats were ahead of the rest of the field from beginning to end, as the defending Head of the Charles Champion Bantams crossed the finish line more than 14 seconds prior to third-place William Smith.
