Connecticut Boat Club was the only East Coast team racing at the event.
“This was a great opportunity to race teams from California, Washington, Oregon and Arizona, who we don’t typically see until Nationals in June," said Coach Liz Trond. "Winning the coxed 4 race, competing against a very fast boat from San Diego (second at Head of the Charles), was the perfect way to cap off our fall racing season and transition into our indoor season.”
