Harvard Dudley Dragon Boat goes to Jiaxing, China!
The Harvard Dudley Dragon Boat is going to China this summer to take part in the Jiaxing Dragon Boat Folk Culture Festival, near Shanghai, on June 22-24, 2012. This will be the team's first international trip to race in Asia in over 5 years. We just started our 2012 season in April, and we're all very excited to begin again and eager to make a splash. Recently, at the annual Boston Dragon Boat Festival, we placed 3rd overall, our best result in many years, and took home gold medals in the college and women's divisions. Jiaxing will be our second race of the season, and representing Harvard Dudley will be 13 experienced paddlers: Lily Ting, Anne Cherry, Vincent Yao, Tim Hou, Elyse Conde, Josephine Pang, Renan Escalante, June Po, Xuefeng Liu, Nicole Neuman, Melissa Pocek, Patrick Murphy, and myself, John Lian. Please follow us on our travels to China and throughout our races at the Jiaxing Dragon Boat Festival! For more information about Harvard Dudley Dragon Boat, please visit our team website.
