Collegiate Men: RIT Men vs. SLU Men
April 10, 2016; Rochester, NY

Submitted by Jim Bodenstedt.

Distance: 1750
Conditions: All races were against the current. Slight head wind at the start and moderate by the 1000 meter mark to the finish. Average temperature was 30 degrees.
Comments: In the first Frosh/Novice 8 race, a large log jam floated down the middle of the course at the 1200 meter mark. Crews had to be steered around it, with SLU having to go wider and a longer course to avoid it. A hundred meters before this point, it had been a close race with RIT up by only half a length. After the finish of the race the SLU coach and the RIT coach discussed if the race was fair. We spoke with the athletes and told them we didn't think the race was fair and that we would like to re-run it. The athletes agreed and we ran the race a second time with no debris issues.
