May Bumps 2001
The May Bumps 2001 were a set of rowing races held at Cambridge University from Wednesday 13 June 2001 to Saturday 16 June 2001. The event was run as a bumps race and was the 110th set of races in the series of May Bumps that have been held annually in mid-June since 1887. In 2001, a total of 172 crews took part (103 men's crews and 69 women's crews), with around 1500 participants in total.
The Homerton Men's 1st VIII recorded the most places advanced during one series of bumps (either Mays, Lents, or Torpids/Eights for Oxford), advancing 13 places in the May Bumps 2001, where the crew moved up a division to division 3 and also won blades - a feat visible in the Bumps Charts below.
