WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:
"This was a great way to cap off our fall season, with some quality racing against conference rivals and D1 programs," head coach Nick Johnson said. "It's always fun when we can get a bunch of Florida universities together. We were pretty content with where our V8 finished, ahead of everyone but JU's V8, but our 2V8 needs a bit of work this winter. We were then pretty thrilled with how the 4's raced, with just a buoy penalty keeping us from locking down both 2nd and 3rd places in the time trial. Thanks to Stetson University for hosting all of us and putting on a quality event."
