Yale took a
5-second lead at the first mile marker in the race on the Thames
River, America's oldest collegiate sporting event, and never
relinquished it, finishing nearly 17 seconds ahead of the
Crimson.
"It took strong-willed people (to win this race). They've never
done this before," Yale head coach Steve Gladstone said in
comments posted on the Yale crew website.
"This is a strong crew and they rowed a great race. I had no
idea they could go that fast, it's so hard to predict,"
Gladstone said.
