Princeton Crew Results

Notes from Heather Smith, Women's Lightweight Coach: The fall racing season concludes with the Belly, which usually provides ample entertainment for spectators. This year was no exception. Luckily, there were no dangerous crashes, though I watched one unfortunate rower catch an oar to the chin when she caught a crab at the finish line in the women's race. The Villanova and Georgetown Lightweight Women's Eights took off down the course 10 minutes before their race began and kept going all the way to the stone bridge before stopping. The race officials did not start the two boats, and the marshall at the half-way point tried to stop both boats, but the coxswains and rowers were apparently convinced that they had begun and then raced hard to the finish line and beyond, but they were not actually in a race! Princeton won the Belly Bowl, and the lightweight women finished a very respectable 7th out of 27 women's boats, ahead of many open weight boats and behind only Princeton, Yale and Cornell.
