CUBC Boat Race – CREWS ANNOUNCED

With just twenty-five days to go, the 162^nd Boat Race promises to be an exciting affair.

The Light Blue crew will be a little heavier than Oxford on average by 1.48kg. Our crew is both more experienced than Oxford’s and marginally taller. The Women’s Boat Race features a Cambridge crew which is an average of 4.27kg heavier than their Oxonian counterparts.

For the first time ever, both the Presidents of CUBC and OUBC are simultaneously Americans. Hughes Hall Geographer Henry Hoffstot hails from Pennsylvania and is one of three Cantabs who have previously represented their Country at senior international level. The others are twenty-seven year old stroke Lance Tredell – who reads Land Economy and has rowed for Great Britain in the World Rowing Cup – and Peterhouse’s Clemens Auersperg who has competed for Austria.

Cambridge’s experience is notable in The Boat Race, with four Blues returning for another year compared to Oxford’s one.
