WIRA 2011: Round-up

The Beach is wrapping up the 2011 spring racing season this month. The 2011 Western Intercollegiate Rowing Assoc.

Here are the highlights.

The Men’s Varsity 4+ finished 6th in the petite final for a 12th place on the west coast ranking. The Men’s Pair got 3rd in their petites for a 9th place west coast ranking. Both the Women’s Varsity and Novice 4+ finished 1st in their petite finals for a 7th place west coast ranking.
