Indianapolis Invitational

Indy Invites was pretty standard this year: high wind gusts canceled afternoon racing.

The novice guys didn't even get to race in a final because of the winds. This happens just about every year. In my four years of going to this race, they've canceled racing twice and should have canceled another two times. The conditions are just atrocious on Eagle Creek Resovoir. This year I even witnessed a women's eight capsize during a race (one of the funniest things I've seen in a while).

There were good moments though. Our varsity 4, which had two novices in the boat, won a third place medal. The next race we have is for this Saturday against Miami University. This should be a tremendously winnable event.
