Lent Bumps 2020

The Lent Bumps 2020 was a series of rowing races at Cambridge University from Tuesday 25 February 2020 to Saturday 29 February 2020. The event was run as a bumps race and was the 133rd set of races in the series of Lent Bumps which have been held annually in late February or early March since 1887. See Lent Bumps for the format of the races.

Head of the River crews

Lady Margaret M1 bumped Caius on First Post Corner on day 1, reclaiming the headship that Caius M1 had won the previous year.[1][2][3]

Starting 4th on the river, Downing W1 bumped Emmanuel W1 and Newnham W1 on the first and second days respectively, before rowing over on the third day and bumping Jesus W1 (who had taken headship from Newnham on the first day) on the fourth day to claim the headship that Newnham had held since the previous year.[4][2][3]

Highest 2nd VIIIs

Lady Margaret II rowed over four times, as did Churchill ahead of them and Girton and Selwyn behind them, remaining the highest men's second VIII at 2nd place in the second division.[1][3]

After rowing over on day 1, Emmanuel II were bumped by Robinson on the second day, but bumped them back on the third day before bumping Jesus II on the fourth day, becoming the highest placed second women's VIII on the river and finishing at 8th position in the second division.[4][3]

Bumps Charts

Below are the bumps charts for all 4 men's and all 4 women's divisions, with the men's event on the left and women's event on the right.[3] The bumps chart shows the progress of every crew over all four days of the racing. To follow the progress of any particular crew, find the crew's name on the left side of the chart and follow the line to the end-of-the-week finishing position on the right of the chart.

This chart may not be displayed correctly if you are using a large font size on your browser. A simple way to check is to see that the first horizontal bold line, marking the boundary between divisions, lies between positions 17 and 18.
