With a first place finish for the V8 at the Head of the Fish—powered by 5 freshmen, 3 sophomores and 1 junior—and a 2nd place finish for the 2V8, the entire team has attacked their winter training. The sophomores and freshmen are owning their roles as young leaders and growing into the challenges that face a young team as well as being without a boathouse for the racing season as Pierce Boathouse goes through a renovation to be completed by the fall of this year. Every challenge so far has been welcomed with the knowledge that the resulting growth brings strength of mind and body. The team is looking forward to testing themselves side by side with fellow competitors who have worked as hard and are equally as excited to race!"

2015 Outlook - "Metaphorically speaking, it is Spring again at MIT. It’s a young team- as the recruiting buzz has taken hold and walk-on development has picked up, a full two-thirds of the squad’s top twenty seats are occupied by the freshman and sophomore class. The Fall months were a great time for these newer athletes to coalesce into a single stroke and rhythm, and we closed considerably on the league’s best . After a productive Florida training trip, we are putting in the hard miles to be ready for the Spring- a season that holds new challenges (we added Dartmouth and Holy Cross to our schedule) and familiar foes. Our approach generally takes the full cycle of the year to develop peak speed, and we have reason to believe that this group is ready for that kind of trajectory."
