UPSET OF THE YEAR, RUNNERS-UP: Men's Heavyweight Crew vs. Princeton

April 16, 2005

By Aidan E. Tait, Crimson Staff Writer

It was hardly David versus Goliath, but when Harvard traveled to Princeton on April 16, the Tigers held the No. 1 ranking the Crimson had owned for two years. No. 3 Harvard rode an 18-race win streak, but was expected to lose in New Jersey.

Harvard instead departed Lake Carnegie with the No. 1 ranking, topping Princeton by 6.4 seconds.

“I don’t really put much faith in rankings,” captain Aaron Holzapfel said. “Rankings don’t win races.”

No. 1 Harvard finished its EARC season with a 6-0 record and a third consecutive Eastern Sprints title, defeating Princeton again at Lake Quinsigamond.
