# May Bumps 2018

The May Bumps 2018 were a set of rowing races at Cambridge University from Wednesday 13 June 2018 to Saturday 16 June 2018. The event was run as a bumps race and was the 127th set of races in the series of May Bumps which have been held annually in mid-June in this form since 1887.
The 2018 May Bumps saw the first ever quadruple overbump in the men's divisions, which involved Magdalene IV bumping Lady Margaret IV on the second day, having started nine stations (21½ lengths) behind them.

## Head of the River crews

Lady Margaret men rowed over on all four days to retain the headship they won in 2016.
Jesus women rowed over on all four days to retain the headship they won in 2017.

## Highest 2nd VIIIs

Lady Margaret II rowed over for three days before being bumped by Wolfson on the final day, finishing as the highest placed men's second VIII at 17th in the first division.
Despite being bumped on every day of the campaign, Jesus II retained their status as the highest placed women's second VIII, finishing 3rd overall in the W2 division. Jesus were bumped by Homerton, St. Catharine's, Trinity Hall, and King's.
