The four-second victory - over favorite Cambridge University - marked the first by a collegiate crew on the famed three-mile course since 1983. The Harvard men placed 15th in the event with a time of 15:27, while their championship four boat captured third place (out of 26 entries). Radcliffe, meanwhile, placed 14 and 23 in women's championship eights and lightweight eights, respectively.
