Oxford and Cambridge universities in England brought their 160-year-old rowing rivalry to the Chicago River for their first race in the United States.
Oxford won by less than half a length.
“Only London counts, but all of them matter,” Oxford rower George Cheveley said. “We don’t ever want to lose to Cambridge.”
