Lent Bumps 2008

Lent Bumps 2008

The Lent Bumps 2008 were a series of rowing races at the University of Cambridge held on the River Cam from Tuesday February 26, 2008 until Saturday March 1, 2008. The event was run as a bumps race and was the 121st race in the series of Lent Bumps which have been held annually in late February or early March on the 7th week of Lent Term in this form since 1887 (see Lent Bumps for the format of the races). This year, a total of 121 crews took part (69 men's crews and 52 women's crews), comprising over a thousand participants in total.

Head of the River crews

Camb|TR men rowed over each day to retain the Lents headship won from Camb|CA in 2006. It is the first time they have held it for two consecutive years.

Camb|TR women also rowed over every day to retain their headship. It is the first time they have held it for two consecutive years.

Camb|TR currently hold the double headship, and are the only club other than Camb|CA ever to achieve this. Furthermore, they are the first club to defend a double headship successfully, retaining both men's and women's headship for a second year.

Highest 2nd VIIIs

Camb|TR|2 bumped Camb|LM|2 on the Friday to become the highest men's 2nd VIII.

II women made history for the second set of bumps in a row, bumping up into the first division to remain the highest placed women's 2nd crew- a position that has never been achieved before.
