Southeast Canoe & Kayak Collegiate Championships
(Tuckasegee River, Dillsboro, N.C.)
The American Canoe Association (ACA), The Brevard College WLEE Program, and several area sponsors will be hosting a brand new canoe and kayaking event in Dillsboro, N.C. On the weekend of March 27-28, 2010, the first-ever Southeast Canoe & Kayak Collegiate Championships will take place on the Tuckaseegee River. What used to be the Carolina Canoe & Kayak Collegiate Championships will now encompass a greater range of competitors from around the region.
The event will feature races from the athletes and an exhibition race featuring their college coaches and affiliates. In addition, a few members competing in the 2010 Wildwater National Team Trials on the Nantahala that same weekend will make an appearance at the championships to display their skills and boats, and interact with the athletes. A special guest speaker from the National Team Trials will also give a presentation prior to the awards ceremony on Saturday evening.
Any interested undergraduate or graduate students from colleges or universities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Eastern Tennessee, and Virginia are welcome to join us in this event.
