THE BOAT RACE 2009

Oxford's heaviest ever crew won the university boat race against Cambridge on Sunday for its fourth victory in five years.

Cambridge matched Oxford through the first half of Sunday's race and even led through the second of the three bends, but the favorites surged ahead late, tapping into their greater stamina and power.

It was Oxford's 75th victory in 155 runnings of the rowing classic on the River Thames.
