University of Nevada Wins Concrete Canoe Contest
24 Jun
The University of Nevada won the American Society of Civil Engineers’ 21st annual National Concrete Canoe Competition last weekend in Montreal. The team’s craft topped a wide field of canoes from 21 other institutions and ended the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s five-year winning streak in the competition.
The Nevada boat, Argentum, had zero deductions in the design category, and the boat’s design team of undergraduate engineering students placed third in the oral presentations and placed fifth or better in all of the racing events. Races include the women’s and men’s endurance, sprint, and a co-ed race.
The University of California-Berkeley finished second in the competition; Wisconsin-Madison was sixth.
