Junior Competitive Race Results  

 

CRI continued to demonstrate both strength and depth at the Wayland-Weston Scrimmage on Saturday. Our talented teams had a great showing at their second race this season, with both the Varsity Girls & Novice Boys teams winning all/most of their races!   

 

Race summary

Distance: approx 1500 meters

Conditions: Substantial head/cross headwind throughout racing

Comments: The 2nd Novice 8 was stopped and re-started about 300 meters in.

1st and 2nd novice races stopped and re-started into the race course due to collision.

 

 

 

Varsity Girls:  All, except for the 2x, of our varsity boats won easily against both WW and Broomfield!

Novice Girls:  Some mixed results, winning in the 2N8 event, while trailing in the 1N8 and N4 events.

 

Varsity Boys:  Some mixed results, winning in both the 1V8 and 2V8 events, while trailing in the V4 and Lwt4 events.

Novice Boys:  Did exceptionally well, with all four boats overwhelming their rivals in the 1N8 and 2N8 events!
