Collegiate Women: Northeastern University vs. Boston College/ Dartmouth scratched
April 5, 2003; Charles RIver/ Powerhouse stretch

Submitted by Joe Wilhelm.

Distance: 1200 - 1400
Wind: 10-15mph crosswinds
Water: calm
Current: races rowed into current, stronger than usual for the Charles.
Comments: Boston was hit with a winter storm over the last two days. Dartmouth was snowed in and could not make the trip. 2000m course was unrowable so all races were moved to popwerhouse stretch. Floating starts meant coures varied from 1200-1400m. 28 degrees F when races started; Precip was sleet, then snow, then rain and the V4 race was cancelled due to thunderstorm. Just a typical New England spring day!
