BOSTON, Mass. – The Dartmouth lightweight rowing team opened the 2022-23 season at the Head of the Charles regatta over the weekend. The Big Green had entries in Championship Single and Doubles, Lightweight Fours and Lightweight Eights.

On Saturday, Jack Costello and Jack Stone represented Dartmouth in the Men's Championship Doubles, finishing in ninth place with a time of 17:19.566. Cooper Tuckerman competed in the Championship Single, finishing second overall with a time of 18:04.600, and was the fastest American lightweight sculler of the day.

"The Championship Single and Double are premier events at the Head of the Charles. The Jacks placing in the top half, a little over a minute behind the United States 2x that won the B final at the world championships last month, is a result to be proud of, and I am thrilled they can leave Boston with a medal as the first-place collegiate entry," said interim head coach Trevor Michelson. "For Cooper Tuckerman, his second-place finish is a testament to the hard work he has put in over the past few years. To finish as the top American lightweight sculler at the regatta is icing on the cake. I look forward to getting all three of these athletes back into eights this spring!"

On Sunday, the Big Green Lightweight 4+ placed 14^th out of 16 crews with a time of 17:09.122. Dartmouth was behind MIT as they passed the Cambridge Boat Club but, the Big Green finished nearly 50 seconds ahead of the Engineers. British Columbia claimed the top spot with a time of 15:45.870. In second was Brock U (15:52.418) followed Penn (15:58.089) in third.

Dartmouth's Lightweight 8+ finished 10^th out of 15 crews with a time of 14:39.197. The Big Green finished just behind Princeton B but finished 16 seconds faster than Kölner to claim the last spot in the top 10. Harvard took first in the race with a time of (13:59.597). Princeton A (14:04.051) claimed second followed by Yale (14:07.849) in third.

"Of the 14 rowers that raced on Sunday, five were freshmen and four were sophomores. The experience these young men gained will pay dividends as we continue to work towards the 2023 spring campaign," Michelson added. "I'm especially proud of our two coxswain, Peyton Gordon and Samantha Sizelove, who did a phenomenal job steering a challenging Charles River course."

Dartmouth returns to the water on Saturday at the Head of the Fish in Saratoga, New York.
