Only linking years violates WP:EGG
I thought the context of adding "race" after was sufficient.  See if I've fixed it... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
Yes, that's enough context. Seattle (talk) 15:09, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
rowed unsuccessfully for Oxford in the 1959 race before triumphing the following year. I would reword, I don't think one can "row unsuccessfully"
Reworded. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
introduced modifications to the starting procedure can you be more specific?
Added more. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
Sean Bowden was head coach of Oxford is that a false title?
added "the". The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
They passed the finishing post three lengths ahead, with an eleven-second advantage over the Dark Blues, in a time of 16 minutes 41 seconds, a time only bettered once before, in 1998. Staggered sentence by all of the commas. The infobox gives the lead at 3.5 lengths, while the text gives 3
Rephrased.  The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
If the time was the second-best in the history of the event, I think that deserves a mention in the lead.
Added mention. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
The record reserve race time should be mentioned in the lead.
Added.  The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
OK. Seattle (talk) 13:47, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks again.  The Rambling Man (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
