Lent Bumps 2003

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lent Bumps 2003 were a series of rowing races held at Cambridge University from Tuesday February 25, 2003 until Saturday March 1, 2003. The event was run as a bumps race and is the most recent in the series of Lent Bumps which have been held annually in late-February or early March since 1887. See Lent Bumps for the format of the races. In 2003, a total of 121 crews took part (69 men's crews and 52 women's crews), with around 1000 participants in total. Several thousand spectators came to watch, particularly on the Saturday.

[edit] Head of the River crews

Caius men rowed-over in 1st position, achieving the headship for the 3rd time since 1999 (and 2nd consecutive headship), although they were pushed very close on the last day by First and Third Trinity.

Caius women bumped Lady Margaret, Jesus and Emmanuel to take their first ever women's headship of the Lent Bumps.

Caius also held both the men's and women's headships of the May Bumps 2002, meaning that all four headships were held by the same club simultaneously - the first (and only) time this has ever happened in bumps history.

[edit] Highest 2nd VIIIs

The highest men's 2nd VIII at the end of the week was Caius II.

The highest women's 2nd VIII was Jesus II.
