MIT’s women’s openweight crew won bronze in the collegiate eight and silver in the novice four at the Head of the Fish Regatta in Saratoga Springs. The varsity four also placed fourth, just 0.9 seconds short of bronze.

By the Numbers
  • Collegiate eight: 3rd of 16 in 11:33.834.
  • Novice four: 2nd of 10 in 13:54.852.
  • Varsity four A: 4th of 42 in 12:34.902, 0.9 seconds off bronze.
Yes, But

The novice four earned silver despite having rowed together only once before the regatta. MIT’s varsity eight finished behind Cornell and Boston College, while its varsity four A narrowly missed the podium.

What's Next

The Engineers close their fall season against Tufts on Saturday, October 31, on the Malden River.

Bottom Line

Two medals and several strong finishes capped a promising fall showing for MIT, with the novice crew’s silver especially notable given its limited time together.
