This year's Triple Race against Shen and Toga is at the Saratoga Boathouse. Take 87 to exit 14 and turn left off the exit ramp. Continue on 9P until you can't go any futher (because there is no bridge). The Saratoga Boathouse is on the left. Parking is limited. Boys' start time is 5:00pm; girls' is 5:10pm.
Thank you to all rowers and volunteers for your hard work and flexibility this weekend at the Head of the Mohawk Regatta co-hosted by Niskayuna Rowing and Aqueduct RC. The changes in date and schedule kept everybody on their toes. Please check out your times on the results page. Because of the fast current, there were many course records set that probably won't be beaten for a while. Parents, thank you for running the concessions and helping out as marshals, timers, announcers, set-up and breakdown crews, and anything else needed.
Jonathan Markowicz, Niskayuna Rowing Head Coach
