SUMMARY
Racing began on Saturday with a 5-7 knot Southerly breeze. Throughout the day, the breeze built and ended with full-on hiking. The second day had similar conditions. Our young team struggled against the well-trained best teams in the country and went winless after the first day. However, our team quickly learned from day one and was able to take home a win against the University of Wisconsin on Sunday. Wolverines ended up in 16th place. Our team gained valuable team racing experience and are excited to continue practicing!
