Race cancelled but some swamped on way back - all rescued safely |
| Description |
Racing was cancelled during an event due to unsafe conditions.
Some boats were already at the start so they were told to row back down the
course. Under the Mass Ave bridge, Syracuse JV swamped. They were up to
their armpits in water and had to be rescued by launches. Their boat was
towed in. Luckily, it was a warm day, and all of the coaches who were out
there came and helped so no one was hurt. |
