BOSTON – Competing in the prestigious 55th annual Head of the Charles regatta, held along the Charles River during the weekend of Oct. 19 and Oct. 20, the Northeastern men's and women's rowing teams made their mark against an elite field of the world's best collegiate and club programs.

An annual fall occasion in Boston, the world-famous Head of the Charles regatta was launched by Northeastern's first rowing head coach, Erine Arlett, in 1965. The event features a three-mile course that hooks through Cambridge and draws more than 300,000 spectators each year.
