In a race warm-up for the upcoming Newport Autumn Rowing Festival, we, the Little Knights, made our 2009-2010 season debut (and debuted our new uniforms, complete with an image of the Little Knight himself embroidered on the right leg) on a beautiful, clear day in Sacramento. We entered the Open VIII, and managed a 4th place finish overall (of 16), behind Cal’s Varsity, JV, and 1st Frosh VIIIs (though we were just 1 second behind the 1st Frosh). This puts us in a good position for NARF, as Stanford will likely not make the trip this year, and we will have a rematch with the Cal freshman on our ‘home’ turf. The lineup at the Head of the American included Tom Graves, who, along with his brother Pete, recently won the Championship Men’s 2x at the Head of the Charles. We hope to have Pete join us as well for the race in Southern California this weekend. For any Indo-Rowers who are interested the race takes place at the Newport Aquatic Center next weekend (on Sunday), and runs for most of the day. Hope to see some of you there!
Go Little Knights!
