High School/Scholastic: NEIRA Boys & Girls Eights,E.O. Smith, Farmington, Avon, Lewis Mills, and Coventry April 29, 2018; Coventry Lake, Coventry, CT
Submitted by Tyler Sheil.
Distance: 1500 Conditions: Great conditions for the Novice events, early in the day. Very strong tail wind picked up starting with the Varsity Fours and continued through the rest of the Varsity events. White caps developed towards the bottom 500M of the course, with rolling waves in the beginning 1000M. Comments: Conditions were too poor for the 2nd Varsity Four events, so they were scratched.
Some lane changes occurred at the start due to boats being pushed off course by wind and having to reset.
Please note that Coventry High School competed, but is not within CPSRA or NEIRA and should not be considered in seeding.
