A great job to Lightwave for placing 4th in the Competitive B division at the CDBA Regional Sprint Races in Fremont!

• Lightwave teamed up with Dragon Warriors to win first place in the Masters Cup.
• The women had an outstanding time paddling with Dieselfish in the Women’s Semi-Finals [post results here], while the men showed in their Semi-Finals just how much power they had in them before our steersperson “pulled a Ray” to keep everyone safe.
• Lightwave also volunteered a few paddlers for Team Evolution’s boat, who had their best finish ever at Fremont; congrats to Evo, we’re honored to have shared in your achievement.
• This year’s Mixed heats proved to be some of the closest competition we have seen: Lightwave missed the cut for Competitive A Division by only 0.04 seconds, and missed medal contention in the Competitive B final by a mere 0.16 seconds.

Despite the close timings, we had a great time catching up with friends, holding our traditional watermelon-eating contest (with a new addition this year, shaved ice), and best of all, showing ourselves just how much stronger and competitive Lightwave has become!  Now that sprints are over, it’s time to focus on endurance as we return to 500m races in two weeks at Long Beach!
