The Huskies are prepping for their upcoming race this weekend, also their final race of their fall season, the Foot of the Charles. Held annually by one of the Boston schools (Boston University, Northeastern, Harvard, etc.) it is a shortened version of the Head of the Charles course. The course starts at the MIT boathouse in the basin and travel 2.25 miles upstream to end at Havard's Newell Boathouse. The format is slightly different: Coaches put their best varsity athletes in 4+s and the novices row in 8+s.
We'll be racing against Boston College, MIT, Radcliffe, BU, Dartmouth, Brown, URI, UMass and Army. The varsity will look to improve on their 3rd-place finish last year and the novices are looking to be top three at this race with some of the fastest novice crews here: Brown was the 2007 Eastern Sprints Champion in the Novice Eight last year.
