Hamilton College women's rowing finished in 15^th place out of 36 boats in the collegiate eights race at the 2022 Head of the Charles Regatta on the Charles River in Cambridge, Mass., on Sunday afternoon.
 
Hamilton posted a time of 17:20.913 on the three-mile course. The Continentals had a time of 3:56.236 at the Riverside Boat Club, 9:20.731 at Weld Boathouse and 14:24.110 at the Cambridge Boat Club. Hamilton finished ahead of Middlebury, Colby, Bowdoin and Connecticut College, and behind Tufts, Bates, Trinity, Williams and Wesleyan. Mercyhurst University was the race winner in 16:32.228.
 
"The Charles has all the excitement of a big race with so many boats competing together from all our peer programs," Head Coach James Lister said. "It's an opportunity to see where we are excelling and where we have a need for growth. The women finished 15th overall with a starting position from 19th. It's forward progress from last year's race, and we need to go faster to be competitive with our peer programs in the spring. We showed good speed at different parts, but left some speed on the table. Both crews have an opportunity this weekend at the Head of the Fish to see many of the same colleges."
