people go back and forth on an erg. I loved the bug screen! You
can tell, this was my first try and I am looking forward to next
year to improve my time.”-LR

A Special Thanks
To Our Competitors / Coaches / Parents
CIRC continues to grow as a respected and anticipated
annual event. This would not be possible without the enthusiastic support
from the individual competitors, coaches and parents. The tone and cooperation
of all participants made this truly a pleasurable event to host.
