Brevard Cup Champions!

This weekend at Canal 54 we hosted the Brevard Cup. It is our hotly contested annual local team championship between Sebastian River, Melbourne High School, and Space Coast Crew.

We won the Women’s Points Trophy for the 2nd year in a row and won the Overall Point Trophy for only the 2nd time. We won the Team Point Trophy by 37 points and won it for the first time since 2009. The parents and coaching staff were really proud of the rowers because they accomplished their first of the three big goals they have set for themselves this season. Their other goals will be put to the test at States and Nationals.

It was our last tune-up before States and we will spend the next two weeks breaking down into the boats we plan on racing at States and hopefully at Nationals. Thank you to all those that braved the cloudy skies, windy weather, and long schedule due to the conditions.
