Harvard rows through choppy, windy conditions to beat Yale in 158th chapter of ‘The Race'
Advertisement
With the victory in 'The Race,' America's oldest collegiate athletic competition in an event that began in 1852, Harvard upped its mark in all-time series against the Bulldogs to 97-60.
It was coach Charley Butt's second straight Sexton Cup win after Harvard lost six straight from 2015-2023. (There were no races in 2020-21 due to COVID-19, and no official result in 2016 after Harvard's boat sank due to rough conditions.)
In the second varsity eight race (3 miles), the Crimson (15:03.2) enjoyed an even bigger margin of victory over Yale (15:22.9), over 19 seconds, to capture the F. Valentine Chappell Trophy. The Crimson captured the 1-mile third varsity eight race in a time of 9:17.78, an open-water victory over Yale (9:24.89) to grab the New London Cup.

Cubs Offense Could Get Better With Addition of This Outfielder
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Chicago Cubs are off to their best start since 2016, a year Cubs fans remember so well. Chicago has one of the best lineups in MLB and that lineup is a huge reason it was the first National League team to reach 40 wins. There are weak spots for the Cubs, one of which is their bench. The duo of Jon Berti and Vidal Brujan have combined for just four at-bats since May 20, meaning neither of those two players have done much for Chicago over the last two weeks. It is safe to assume Chicago will upgrade its bench prior to the trade deadline and one option to upgrade it would be current Chicago White Sox outfielder and former Cub Mike Tauchman. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - JUNE 05: Mike Tauchman #18 of the Chicago White Sox looks on against the Detroit Tigers at Rate Field on June 05, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - JUNE 05: Mike Tauchman #18 of the Chicago White Sox looks on against the Detroit Tigers at Rate Field on June 05, 2025 in Chicago, spent the first five seasons of his career with the Colorado Rockies, New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants. He spent the last two seasons with the Cubs and instantly became a fan favorite due to his heroics in the summer months of the season. The last two summers on the northside of Chicago were often referred to as the "Summer of Tauchman" and that magic would certainly be welcome back. Sights and sounds of an (early) summer of Mike Tauchman 😌#YouHaveToSeeIt | — Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) April 24, 2024 He is batting .297 with three home runs and a .957 OPS in 19 games and 67 at-bats so far this season. Those numbers are well above his .250 average and .732 OPS in his two seasons with the Cubs. Tauchman could provide much more depth than Brujan has given Chicago, and his familiarity with the players and the organization could make him a critical player not only on the field, but in the locker room as well. A trade for the former Cub could be exactly what the franchise needs to secure its first NL Central title and playoff appearance since the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
