Huskies to meet Yale in two finals at Henley Royal Regatta

Varsity eight crew from Washington beats Melbourne University Boat Club to reach final at Henley-on-Thames

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England — Washington will face Yale in two different finals Sunday at the Henley Royal Regatta.

The Huskies got into the final of the varsity eight by beating Melbourne University Boat Club in the semifinal of the Ladies’ Plate as they seized an early advantage and never trailed. In the semifinal of the Prince Albert Challenge Cup for coxed fours, UW handled Harvard in action Saturday.

“I’m really proud of the performance we’ve had here on such a big stage,” UW coach Michael Callahan said.
