William and Mary at Virginia Tech

22 March 1998
2000 meters, Claytor Lake, Blacksburg VA


Thanks to Charles Ehrlich for the results.

Conditions: COLD!, strong cross/head wind, some snow flurries, first 1000 had foot-high waves, second 1000 calmer, icicles formed on rowers between strokes when they got drenched by waves.

Men's Novice 4+ rowed only about 1250 meters for safety concerns. All other races were roughly 2000 meters off a floating start. In these conditions, margins tended to baloon - races were tighter than margins suggest.
