Occoquan Chase

A regatta in Virginia!  Kings Point rowers next head to the Occoquan resevoir in Northern Virginia to compete against mid-Atlantic rowing teams in the Occoquan Chase.  Four KP rowers hail from Northern Virginia and we have an opportunity to show off Southern (well sort of Southern) hospitality.  The team travels to Sandy Point park Saturday for practice on the water and then stay overnight with parents of Greg Trieber, Brook Mueller, Chris Murphy and Frank Osborne and Giuseppe Niosi's grandparents.  Racing starts Sunday after breakfast with sunny but breezy weather predicted.
