10/22/2012 2:55:00 PM. The annual Head of the Charles Regatta (Oct. 20-21) afforded the men's and women's programs an opportunity to compete against both intercollegiate and international competitors.

 Sunday provided a stiff headwind prevailed through much of the day, resulting in noticeably slower times for most races.
The following event was the men's Championship 8+, with the Huskies looking to build on a ninth-place finish from last year. Racing against the US National Team, defending collegiate national champions University of Washington, and a boat entirely comprised of medalists from this summer's Olympic games, the men's boats blazed down the course, earning sixth and 14th place finishes, good for fifth and 12th, respectively, among college crews in the event. The men's and women's teams will travel next weekend to Lake Carnegie in Princeton, N.J., to race at the Princeton Chase.

Men's Championship Eight;  6^th; 14:53.21; 14^th; 15:13.48
