Cambridge Wins Boat Races

Cambridge University won both the women’s and men’s Boat Races over the four miles and 374 yard (6.8 km) course on London’s Thames River Tideway. The Light Blue men’s crew beat Oxford’s Dark Blues by 5.5 lengths in a time of 16:56 to win the 170th edition of the men’s race. The Cambridge women beat Oxford by 2.5 lengths with a winning time of 19:25 to take the 79th Women’s Boat Race. The race featured the first restart of the women’s race, after the crews crashed into each other. This year marked the 10th anniversary of the women’s race being on the Tideway.

Cambridge completed a sweep of the year, having won the reserve crews races as well as the lightweight races.
