Marquette Scrimmage Results
This weekend we had a race hosted by Marquette in Milwaukee. We also raced against the Milwuakee School of Engineering and Northern Michigan University. The general consensus was that the races went well and the team had fun despite the cold weather. Most boats were pleased with their first race with an understanding that improvements will still be made. The times are posted below, but the numbers are distorted because choke points in the course forced many boats to slow down. Additional pictures are on our facebook page.
