Mount Holyoke Regatta,  September  -- Mount Holyoke won both the Magruder Cup (overall team points), and the President's Cup (Varsity-8 boat only). This marks the ninth consecutive year that the Lyons have captured the Magruder Cup, and the first time since 1996 that they have won the President's Cup.  HCRA provides communications and television coverage.  Video is provided to the judges booth of areas of the river that they would otherwise not see.
