    This is really great news. Thanks to all those who made it possible.

    Was the addition of the eighth lane a factor? Or perhaps it was our policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell” with respect to use of the marina bathrooms and changing areas. I’ve read that the the NCAA is deeply concerned about bathroom choice in North Carolina, but not so concerned about academic fraud by college athletes at the University of North Carolina. Priorities, I guess.

      Dave,

      I plan to ask about whether the addition of the eighth lane helped with the bid for the NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships at the April 28th dedication of the 8th lane.

      Thank you,

      John
