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.

Famous quotes containing the word results:
“Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence.... It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one’s rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
“I have no doubt that it was a principle they fought for, as much as our ancestors, and not to avoid a three-penny tax on their tea; and the results of this battle will be as important and memorable to those whom it concerns as those of the battle of Bunker Hill, at least.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
