Our team recently took a trip up north to San Francisco to race College Cup 2022 hosted by .norcal ! It’s been a long-awaited three years since we’ve raced at Lake Merced, so for the majority of us, it was our first time participating in College Cup, but it was definitely one for the memory books. Despite over half of the team being new this year and only having a couple of months on the water together, the hard work and dedication everyone showed in practice really shined on race day! (even in the chilly conditions)
Yolo took 1st in the Mixed C Division, and Swag fought for placement in the Mixed A Division against and , having it come down to a literal photo finish in which Swag came away with 2nd (missing out by just 0.08 seconds)!
This was a great race to start off the season, and we’re already training for the next one. Thank you to everyone responsible for organizing this race, and shoutout to all of the volunteers that made running it possible. Big thanks to all of UCSDDB alumni that came to support us and that have helped us get to where we are, we couldn’t have done any of this without you!
Great job to all of our crews, and to all the teams that gave it their all on the water, we can’t wait to race you again, we love and welcome the challenge!
Yolo, Swag, Slay, Serve
