I am pleased to announce the ACRA Board has negotiated for the 2009 National Championship to be held in Oak Ridge, Tennessee on May 23 & 24. Due to a construction schedule being moved forward in Oklahoma City, where the 2009 regatta was initially planned to be held, that site became unavailable to host the championship as we were informed last month. We are excited to be racing in Oak Ridge for our second annual national championship for collegiate club teams. Oak Ridge has hosted numerous regional and national championships over the years, and has one of the finest courses and volunteer forces the United States has to offer. We are certain that they will help us organize a championship that improves upon last years incredible inaugural National Championship.
