BOSTON – The Boston University women’s rowing program opened its first day of racing at the 58th Head of the Charles Regatta on Saturday (Oct. 21), as the program’s DeWolfe Boathouse served as the starting line. BU featured two alumnae crews and two boats with current student-athletes.
The morning began with the Senior Master Eights, which crossed the finish in a time of 18:08.653. That mark was good for sixth out of 30 entries. Later, the Alumnae Fours hit the water to place eighth in 20:07.223.
