- King's College Boat Club
King's College Boat Club is the rowing club for members of
King's College, Cambridge . King's is a reasonably large college, but it has been fairly rare to find a King's crew near the top of the Lent orMay Bumps .Men's results
The King's 1st men's VIII have spent most of their history in the 2nd division of the Lent and
May Bumps . In 1897, King's reached 4th in the Lent Bumps, but subsided back into the 2nd division just four years later. A few brief periods in the 1st division have followed, but in the mid-1980s, the 1st VIII found themselves in the 3rd division for the first time ever. In 2005, King's managed to reach the 1st division for the first time since 1976. This position was consolidated in 2006 and 2007 with a further 3 bumps in both years, finishing 11th.In the
May Bumps , performance has largely been similar to that of theLent Bumps . From 1912 until 1930, King's was in the 1st division, reaching 5th in 1923. In 1982, the 1st VIII dropped into the 3rd division and since 1989 has had a continuous existence in the 2nd division. Recent movement has reflected that of the Lents, rising from 15th on the first day of 2003 to 3rd in the 2nd division at the end of racing in 2007.Recent Form
