Jack Robertson and Annie Anezakis at the weigh in

Annie Anezakis was stroking the Oxford women's eight and Jack was the four seat of the Oxford men's boat. 

Annie is undertaking a Masters in Pharmacology course after studying at Princeton in the USA and Jack a Masters in Science - Sociology after studying at University of California, Berkeley. 

The honours were shared this year with Oxford taking the men's race and Cambridge the women's. Congratulations to them both but particularly to Jack on his win.

Cambridge retained their title as winners of the Women’s Boat Race for the fifth consecutive year, 2 ½ lengths ahead of rivals Oxford. Both crews broke the course record, set in 2017, Cambridge setting in a new time of 18:23. Oxford men broke Cambridge’s five year winning streak in the Men’s Boat Race winning by 2 ¼ lengths in a time of 16:42. This equals the winning Oxford time in 2005, a time which hasn’t been matched since.
