Rich’s team, representing the Cambridge Boat Club, the host organization of the HOCR, placed first in the Men’s Grand Master Fours (60+) category. The team won with a time of 18:08.033. This year’s event marks the return of the in-person annual race after a virtual competition took place in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The HOCR was founded in 1965 and is the world’s largest rowing race, regularly fielding more than 11,000 athletes from around the world to compete in a full line-up of sculling and sweep rowing events. A must-attend race for world class and Olympian rowers, competitors range from young adult rowers to veteran athletes in their 90s. The HOCR is hosted by the Cambridge Boat Club, which was established in 1909 to encourage boating and yachting in Boston.
