ROWING PARTICIPATES IN FIRST WORMTOWN CHASE REGATTA

SHREWSBURY, M.A. -- The first-ever Wormtown Chase Regatta took place on Saturday 10/26 in Shrewsbury, MA, on the Quinsigamond. Unlike the Quinsigamond Snake Regatta, this race took place on the opposite side of the river which has a more open area with a park. This provides plenty of room for teams and viewers. 

Final Results 

• 2V4+: 13th out of 14 with a time of 27:47 

• V8+: 18th out of 21 with a time of 22:47 

Race Info 

• There was a heavy headwind at the beginning of the race (around 9AM) 

• This put boats that went out early, including Bryant’s 2V4+, at a disadvantage time wise 

• There were about 4 hours between races, as the 8+ boats typically go out later in the day 

• The wind had died down by the afternoon (about 2PM) for the V8+ boat to go out
