From Head Coach Kevin MacDermott:
"Racing in Boston was absolutely top-notch. The competition is always incredible, the atmosphere electric, and the racing experience invaluable. Coming home, you want to feel good about your performance and the things you learned. The crews gave everything they had, competed with great intensity, and everyone learned a tremendous amount about racing at a high level."
"We've had a great fall in many ways, but two successes stand out. First, the emergence of outstanding leadership and execution from the Class of 2026—I'm incredibly proud of their growth, especially following last year's graduating class. Second, the development of our underclassmen has been exciting. The younger athletes are stepping up as real high-impact performers. Everyone is looking forward to a competitive winter and spring."
"Bringing home medals for both the men's and women's top Collegiate 8+ boats was awesome. Head of the Charles hardware is always special, and both Peter and I are proud of the success across the entire boathouse."
