LaGrange College’s annual student regatta was anything but dry Tuesday as contestants and their homemade craft headed into West Point lake under rainy skies.

Freshman Cornerstone classes and other campus groups compete in the activity, which is usually the final event of First Week activities on campus. The ‘Y’Gotta Regatta’ already had been postponed from Friday because of rainy weather.

Competitors had to make their own craft and paddles using nothing more than cardboard, duct tape, trash bags, plastic soft-drink bottles and milk jugs. They had to carry at least two people.

Professor Tim Taunton’s Cornerstone class won the event, and John Lawrence’s class came in second.
