The Lions' only defeat in the varsity eight came to No. 1 Yale on April 16.

The Lions varsity eight battled with No. 1 Cornell and fell by just one second in the varsity eight grand final to claim a silver medal. The second varsity eight just missed out on the podium, claiming fourth place in the grand final.
