RICHMOND, VA November 3, 2008 - VBC had a busy weekend participating in two of the larger head races of the season. Leeds Nudd put in a very strong performance in the Head of the Hooch in Chatanooga, TN, placing 4th overall in the Mens Championship 1x out of a field of 18 college and club scullers. With a time of 19:32.1, Leeds was within 3.7% of the winning time and 3.9 seconds off of the third place time. Leeds will race again in the coming Head of the South next weekend.
The VBC Mens 4+ finished their season with a second place finish in the Head of the Occoquan.
