Cambridge complete Boat Race clean sweep
Cambridge men's team celebrate victory over Oxford in The 170th CHANEL J12 Men's Boat Race on the River Thames, London, April 13, 2025

CAMBRIDGE completed a clean sweep on the Thames with victories in the men’s, women’s and both reserve Boat Races.

It was expected to be a tight battle in the 170th men’s edition, but instead the light blue boat built up an early lead and never looked back, shocking an Oxford boat stacked with several Olympians.

Cambridge made it eight straight wins in the 79th women’s competition, also the 10th anniversary of the men’s and women’s races taking place on the traditional 6.8-kilometre Championship Course.
