2011 Squirt Results

The squirt competition is a Potomac tradition. In the downriver category, Risa Shimoda tied with Steve Graybill for the win. In the eddyline squirt (aka downtime comp), Steve Graybill won with a convincing lead--more than 10 times as long underwater as any other competitor!

2011 Freestyle Results

In the K1 Expert/Pro class, Danny Stock led out of prelims and held onto his advantage to win finals. Simon Braun borrowed a boat to compete in the K1 Beginner class, and ended up winning it.
