Concrete Canoe Competition



This is the final product of our Canoe.  We competed against the Mountain West Conference teams, including BYU and we took 3rd place overall!  Competition involved races, aesthetics and presentation.  Incidentally, both BYU and Utah State named their canoes "True Blue", and BYU's sunk...a few times.  Our canoe weighed in at a whopping 400 lbs. and was a pain to turn.  I was in one race and we won our heat, but only took 5th overall. It was a great day to show off our engineering prowess.  Thank goodness the competition and the semester are both over!  YEAH summer!!
