Newport Aquatic Center: Head of the Lagoon

Our final big trip of the Fall has finally come and gone with some very positive results. We have been talking, as a team, a lot about "indicators" as to what our goals are, where we are compared to previous years and where we are compared to other teams this year. As a young group we are getting progressively better each and every day and when compared to other programs, we have the most significant ability to increase our speed this year given our learning curve. This will continually be our mission as we build our entire Varsity program on 25 novices from last year and 5 returning Varsity members. This weekend served as one of these "indicators" where we were able to race Los Gatos again after having lost to their Varsity "A", "B", and "C" boats at Head of the American. NAC managed to keep up with Los Gatos and match them at a few levels in the Varsity 4's event. Our lightweight double also entered into the "open" category as we feel it is important to make our racing schedule as challenging as possible this season. The double placed second to a River City double but more importantly, beat the times of everyone in the lightweight category by over a minute and a half.
