The Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association (WIRA) Championship Regatta will be held on May 3-4, 2008 at Lake Natoma near Sacramento, CA. As we all know, this is the West Coast Championship for Club Crews and will feature some very fast and accomplished crews including UCSB.
The UCSB Rowing Team will have a tent along the finishing 500m from which alumni and friends can watch the exciting racing and socialize. The tent will be hosted by UCSB Parents who are very generously providing food and beverages and supported by Joel Raznick via SBRF. We look forward to seeing you there!
