ITHACA, N.Y. — The Harvard men's heavyweight rowing program swept all four varsity eight races, successfully retaining the Robinson Cup against the Cornell men's heavyweight rowing program on Saturday morning on the Cayuga Inlet.
Racing featured a building tailwind of 15-20 mph throughout the five races between the Big Red and Crimson, accompanied by a slight tail flow and flat water.
Harvard achieved victories in the first four races of the day (3V8+, 1V8+, 2V8+, 4V8+), with each win coming by at least 15 seconds. Cornell's sole victory of the day occurred in the V4+ race, where it clocked a time of 6:41.0, which was 22.6 seconds faster than the Crimson's time of 7:03.6, marking the largest margin of victory for the day.
