IRRC Rowers place well, Rowing team is third in Miami regatta

  • A team from the Indian River Rowing Club placed third in The Head of the Indian Creek Regatta in Miami Beach Sunday. Although the team consisted of two women and two men, since there was no division for mixed teams, regatta officials allowed them to compete in the men’s division. The annual race is an event that helps raise funds and awareness to find a cure for breast cancer.
