Shelley Pearson was part of the Harvard Varsity Eight that won the petite final, avenging a pair of dual-season losses in the process, to cap Harvard’s day at the Eastern Association of Women’s Rowing Colleges Sprints Championships Sunday on the Cooper River.
The second varsity eight and varsity four each qualified for grand finals, with the four’s fifth-place finish highlighting Radcliffe’s five entries.
The varsity eight finished third, one spot outside of the grand final in its morning heat, but came back to win the petite final in 6:43.353. The time was more than three seconds faster than Northeastern and more than seven better than Columbia. Both opponents defeated the Harvard in the Beanpot regatta two weeks ago and were ranked ahead of 10th-seeded Harvard. Yale won a tightly contested grand final.
