One wonders if they didn't reverse the listings with the varsity boats.

On more boat racing about now(novice 8+?). Results when they come in.

Great day for UP so far.

The Varsity Four had to race into a big headwind, which explains their time.

Races were delayed about an hour and a half because of wind squalls. It was apparently a bit dicey out there.

Calm now. Races resumed.

The novice 8+ boat scratched in their event.

UP finishes with two firsts, a second, and a third for the day, wich might get them the team trophy for the second year in a row.

well done, ladies.

Pretty impressive results.

Heard the novice 8 didn't get to race because of a referee error at the start…..hmm, I guess we’ll learn more later (or not).

Twitter report.

And a comment.

@CoachReveno wrote:Hey, @UP_Rowing Very cool that you can criticize an official on twitter. Not sure @WCC_Commish would let me. Maybe I should coach rowing.

And the comeback:

@UP_Rowing: @CoachReveno I've been coaching for 28 years, have never been called for a technical foul. You've never coached in the rain. Want to trade?

The official story is up.

I see the first four rowers all came out of the first eight boat.

And it looks like we got the right number of rowers in all the boats this time

UP walked away with the team efficiency trophy for the second straight year.

Um, that's wonderful, I guess, what does it mean?

Did they WIN....or were they just very "efficient?"

Nevertheless, congratulations, Ladies!

I think it means we had the highest point total.

That's why they post the points.
