Ledyard – Harvard hoisted a broom up the boathouse flagpole late Sunday morning, signifying another dominating performance in the historic Harvard-Yale Regatta.

The 148th running of the race between Ivy League powers featured a familiar result.

For the sixth straight year, Harvard swept every race in America’s oldest intercollegiate athletic event, including winning the varsity eight by a comfortable 23 seconds.

“Nothing feels better than winning this race,” Harvard coach Harry Parker said. “I thought Yale would stay closer to us earlier in the race. I was pretty sure that we could out-row them in the later stages. I was a little surprised but quite satisfied that we could get away from them early.”

Parker, who’s in his 51st year, certainly knows the winning feeling by now, as he improved his record to 44-7 in the annual regatta. The Crimson won for the 13th time in 14 years, extending their overall series lead to 94-54.
