Thank you to all crews, specifically Oakland and Fox Chapel, for their dedication to the true spirit of racing. All athletes represented themselves well on the water by putting forth a supreme physical effort - and off the water by co-mingling and demonstrating camaraderie and sportsmanship through the internationally accepted practice of taking selfies together.
