“The wind was insane and the lines for the dock were crazy so it was impossible to do anything,” junior Jacob Lajeunesse said. “A couple of boats crashed here and there, but we mostly had a pretty calm day.”
Seventeen teams competed with the women’s varsity team and 11 teams competed with the men’s varsity team.
