Rain Causes Cancellation of Valley Regatta

Boats SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. (Oct. 2, 2010) - The Mount Holyoke College crew team will have to wait until next Saturday to kick off its 2010-11 campaign. Today's Valley Regatta was cancelled due to poor river conditions. The event was slated to take place on the Connecticut River, but heavy rainfall over the past few days caused water levels to rise drastically. Mount Holyoke is slated to compete in the Quinsigamond Snake Regatta next Saturday in Worcester, Mass. The Lyons recorded a first place finish at the event last fall.
