Protest committee- PRO James Moody, Yale Coach Alex Tong

A slow start to the day but a nice 6-8 knot oscillating breeze filled in from the Southwest on Mystic Lake today for the top 4 and bottom 5 teams. Ultimately Yale came out on top with a 8/3 record, winning a three-way tie, with Tufts coming in second, followed by Roger Williams in third. Congratulations to Yale and a great showing by all competitors. A special thank you to Tufts alumnus, James Moody '16, for running races this weekend.
