In Summer Eights, the men's 1st boat has climbed steadily over the past decade from the middle of Eights Division II to a high of Fourth on the River in 2010. As of 2012, the 1st Eight is fifth on the river, the highest undergraduate college with the exception of those (Oriel, Pembroke and Christ Church) which regularly attract Oxford Blue rowers. The women's 1st Eight, meanwhile, achieved Blades in 2010 and 2011, and is now in the middle of Division I. The club is also highly successful lower down the divisions, qualifying more boats for Eights 2012 than any other college boat club.
The club's recent record in Torpids is less successful, with the Men's 1st Torpid currently towards the bottom of Division II. The Women's 1st Torpid has been marginally stronger recently, achieving Blades in 2010 and 2011.
Novice training is also strong, with large numbers of boats entered every year for Nepthys Regatta and Christ Church Regatta.

“For every life and every act
Consequence of good and evil can be shown
And as in time results of many deeds are blended
So good and evil in the end become confounded.”
