A Heartbreak Finish at Alcan

In Dragon Boat racing six seconds can be the difference between triumph and heartbreak. Six seconds. That was the difference between first and eighth place in the Junior "B" division final. The Clarkdale Jetta Dragons paddled their hearts out and accomplished so much, but at the end of the day six seconds divided us from the leaders. Here is the result of the final:
