The Hobart College rowing team's varsity eight was named the Liberty League Men's Rowing Boat of the Week following a fourth place finish at the Head of the Charles Regatta on Sunday.
 
In a 27-crew field, the Statesmen's top boat powered by sophomore Bart Voto, junior Patrick Overton, junior Alberto Wray, first-year Moritz Marchart, junior Carter Weitekamp, sophomore Conor Donadio, junior Henry Vachon, junior Andrew Krimmel and sophomore Wyatt Hathaway traversed the 3-mile Charles River course in a time of 16:06.302. Hobart missed the podium by 46-hundredths of a second.
 
The Statesmen, who were the No. 11 bow ball, put together a steady race. Hobart had the fastest time at the first two check points and were third at the final checkpoint before the finish line. By virtue of their finish in the top half of the field, Hobart earned a spot in the 2019 Head of the Charles regatta. It was the 12th time in the last 13 seasons that Hobart has finished in the top 10.
 
Hobart will close out its fall season Nov. 3 at the Cornell Autumn Classic.
