As racing kicked off quickly Wednesday we were greeted with a brisk northerly wind and a cold dark skies only broken by a few scattered showers. With the wind at a consistent 15-18 knots, peaking at 20 intermittently, throughout the day Race Committee was able to get 8 exciting races off in both A and B fleets.

Racing on the second day was accompanied by some momentary sunshine, and slightly lighter winds. Another big thank you to the race committee for finishing the full rotation in a timely manner. After a hard fought battle, between Wisconsin and Tulane, Tulane came out of its final protest victorious. The regatta was scored out to fifth place, with Texas A&M in fifth, Ohio State University in fourth, Ohio University in third, University of Wisconsin Madison taking second, and Tulane University winning the event.
