WESTERN INVITATIONAL RESULTS

The 2004 OUA rowing season started this past weekend with Western hosting the first event of the year. The format of the regatta is a little different from most regattas, in that the first race is a 4000m out of a mass start (i.e 10 eights side-by-side starting). This is followed by a dash of 400m starting with four boats side-by-side. The order is dependant on the outcome of the first race, with the fastest boats start together. This format allows each rower a start only in one boat-class at the regatta (in comparison to the normal two boat-classes). Participants seemed to enjoy the format, which sets the tone for the upcoming season!
