qualification
So the Keble Men's 3rd VIII have now qualified for Torpids regatta. Yay!
We had needed to qualify by coming in the top 13 of the 30 crews in the rowing on division. There was, sadly, a 3-way tie for 12th place, though, which means that Keble III, Mansfield II, and Wadham III needed to race another 3-way race in order to determine which two of the three crews would make it. Keble's first attempt, the one which led to the 3-way tie, was fraught with three crabs. Awful.
But today, there were no crabs, there were no errors, and the result was outstanding. Keble came in a full 20 seconds faster than Wadham, which then came in 2 seconds faster than Mansfield. So Keble and Wadham are now in the regatta, and Mansfield has to go home. Oustanding. :)
So tomorrow, we're travelling to St. Paul's Cathedral in London in order to sing evensong. I'm excited, and a bit nervous as well.
