Complete Results (Saturday) | Complete Results (Sunday)

Boston, MA - The 52nd Head of the Charles Regatta, the largest international regatta in the world, took place on October 22nd and October 23rd, 2016 in Boston, MA. The Rams competed in three different event categories including the Women's Club 8+. Women's Club 4+ and the Women's Lightweight 4+.
 
To kick off the women's events on Saturday, the Rams competed in the Women's Club 4+ event. The lineup consisted of seniors Alexandra Laird and Kerry Egan, junior Kristen Shuman and sophomores Cynthia Luz and Erin Stepka. The Rams finished 15th in a field of 59 entries in a time of 20:24.06. In 2015, the Rams finished 16th in the event.
 
Later that afternoon, the Rams were one of 39 entries competing the Women's Club 8+. Led by senior co-captains Jackie Ramos (coxswain) and Maura O'Donnell, the lineup included seniors Kelly Leonard and Kara Ramsey, junior Caroline Hamann, sophomores Sarah White and Erin Parker and freshmen Erin McGreevey and Danae Ohresser-Joumard. The Rams came down the course in a time of 17:12.8 securing them a 6th place finish behind Brown University (16:50.4), Syracuse (16:54.1), Radcliffe (16:55.8), Northeastern (16:59.3) and the University of Pennsylvania (17:12.3).
 
The Women's Lightweight 4+ event occurred on Sunday morning and included 11 entries. The Rams were led by freshman coxswain Lindsey Maiale followed by freshmen Jordan Glenn and Julia Comerford, senior Leslie Fung and junior Kat Napoli. Posting a fifth place finish, the Rams completed the course in a time of 20:48.38 behind Western Ontario, Riverside, MIT and Boston University.
 
In order to guarantee a place in the event next year, an entry must place in the top 50% of the field. 
 
After showing very strong performances, the Rams qualified to compete in the 53rd Head of the Charles Regatta in all three events.
 
The Rams will continue their season at the Head of the Schuykill next weekend in Philadelphia, PA on October 29, 2016.
