On one hand, Harvard’s varsity sailing programs made a bit of 2005 will go down as yet another impressive year in Newell history. On the other hand, it was pretty much business as usual. Boathouse – and while there were some surprises along the way for The history-making part came as Harvard’s women’s team sure, it will be a season to remember for the Crimson crews. broke open what had been a close competition through two days Sure, there were doubters throughout the season. Coming off with a commanding third-day performance to claim the national the remarkable 2003 and 2004 campaigns, many believed that the championship at the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association regatta in tremendous success of those years could be directly attributed to Austin, Texas. the Class of 2004, 14 strong and the core of both the varsity and JV Continued on page 2 boats. However, one reporter mused at this year’s IRA that per- haps that magic lied in the skill, power and determination found in Harvard’s two seniors in the 2005 incarnation: captain Aaron Holzapfel (Kensington, NH) and Malcolm Howard (Victoria, BC), who have been in the varsity boat since their sophomore seasons and have never lost a collegiate varsity race. “They are clearly among the best oarsmen we’ve ever had,” admits Harry Parker, the legendary Crimson coach who, in his 43rd year, continues to deliver some of the best crews collegiate rowing has to offer. Highlights of their rowing resumes include four Sprints golds, three IRA National championships, four victories against Yale, and the preservation of Harvard’s winning streak which now covers 24 consecutive dual races and 32 opponents. Harvard’s last loss to a collegiate crew came in the Grand Finals of the 2002 Eastern Sprints (to Wisconsin); the last time a loss came in a dual race was in April of 2001, to Ivy foe Princeton. Harvard’s last two weeks of the season cemented this current era’s place in Harvard lore. With the win over Yale – Harvard’s Upon winning the title the women’s team celebrated by jumping into sixth straight in the series – the Crimson has now posted three the boat with Sloan Devlin ‘06 and Christina Dahlman '07.

Both Chu and Kumar were recognized as All-America selec- tions for their performances in the tournament.

Women’s Tennis (19-7 Overall, 7-0 Ivy League) The Crimson rode home court advantage to a pair of wins in the NCAA tournament, but saw its national title hopes end at the hands of a Stanford squad that was not to be denied. Harvard won its opening-round match at the Beren Tennis Center with a 4-0 decision against Maryland as freshman Celia Durkin (Los Angeles, CA) clinched it with a straight-set win. The win pushed Harvard into a second-round match with Ten- nessee, and again, it was Durkin who delivered the clinching point. She battled back from a one-set deficit to claim a three-set victory in No. 3 singles, sending Harvard to the round of 16 in Athens, Ga., with a 4-1 win. But nagging injuries and a quality opponent took their toll on the Crimson in the round of 16 as top-ranked Stanford won a 4-0 decision.
