Head of The River Crews
Caius men gained their 5th consecutive headship and 6th since 1999. Their 19 day hold on the Lent headship is, so far, the 5th longest continuous defence in history (Lady Margaret have the longest spell of 26 consecutive days at the top between 1975 and 1981).
Clare women bumped Downing to take their first ever Lent Headship (they started Head of the Lents, but lost it that year, in the very first women's Lent Bumps in 1976).

Famous quotes containing the words head of the, head, river and/or crews:
“Gentlemen, no one objects to the husband being the head of the wife as Christ was the head of the church—to crucify himself; what we object to is his crucifying his wife.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say. But to sacrifice a hair of the head of your vision, a shade of its colour, in deference to some Headmaster with a silver pot in his hand or to some professor with a measuring-rod up his sleeve, is the most abject treachery, and the sacrifice or wealth and chastity, which used to be said to be the greatest of human disasters, a mere flea-bite in comparison.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The murmurs of many a famous river on the other side of the globe reach even to us here, as to more distant dwellers on its banks; many a poet’s stream, floating the helms and shields of heroes on its bosom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
