...boats faced stiff competition.The heavyweights found themselves in a fierce three-way battle with Wisconsin and Brown. While Harvard outpaced the Badgers by almost two seconds, its 5:42.625 finish was not enough to gain an edge over the Bears. Brown’s first boat gave its Crimson counterpart trouble in the crews’ first meeting of the season, finishing just a second behind Harvard in a dual meet. Yesterday, the Bears quickly erased an early Crimson lead and maintained its advantage to take first in 5:41.363.“There was good competition...
