On a balmy October day, the HBS women’s four competed in the 43rd annual Head of the Charles Regatta, said to be the world’s largest two-day rowing event and a fall tradition that attracts some 200,000 spectators. From bow to stern, crew members were cox Lindsey Silken (non-HBS), Elizabeth Danaher (HBS ’09), Crystal Cline Halbmaier, Courtney Hughes, and Erika Mills (all HBS ’08). Despite having only five practice sessions and rowing in a borrowed shell, the women finished 19th out of 32 boats, with Halbmaier declaring it an “extremely fun race.”
