Lady Margaret men, starting fourth, became head on day 3, bumping Pembroke on day 1, Caius on day 2, and Downing on day 3 after a rudder failure forced Downing to stop racing just after Ditton Corner. Downing had bumped Caius on day 1, and rowed over as head on day 2. Clare won blades, rising to 10th.

Jesus women retained their headship won in 2016. Clare won blades, rising to second place.
