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:
“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
““The ideal reasoner,” he remarked, “would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
