The Rock will stay Red!

Harvard's Varsity crew won the 4-mile race in 19:23.3.

After today's 149th Yale-Harvard Regatta on the Thames River in New London, it is clear that the 'Rock' will stay RED, as the Crimson won all three races under a beautiful blue sky.

HTBS will come back with a full race report in a couple of days.
