What a day!
After anxiously anticipating and preparing to host Richmond's only collegiate regatta, Mother Nature decided she was against us! Going into Sunday we were prepared for a little rain, maybe a thunderstorm or two, but certainly not the wind that kicked up with unfortunate consequences!
Only three events were rowed before the wind caused racing to be cancelled. Results can be found at >here<.
In the end, University of Maryland Baltimore County, NC State and VCU all had boats swamped by the torrential winds and the waves created by them. All rowers were rescued and returned safely to land.
Coverage of race day's events can be found in this Richmond Times-Dispatch article >online<.
In addition, photos from the regatta can be found online >here<, courtesy of JFord Photography.
We hope that next year the weather will cooperate with us, and we can continue to run this awesome event for collegiate rowing in Richmond!
