Spring Break 2013 Recap

This year, the team traveled to a new venue for Spring Training. They traveled to Clemson, SC to train on the flat waters and multiple buoyed courses on Lake Hartwell. After a week of training, the team competed in sprints against Michigan State and Eastern Michigan on Friday and had a match race against Georgia Tech on Saturday. This was among the best venues the team had traveled to for training and are looking forward to returning next year!
