Canadian / Shawnigan results from this morning’s racing at the World Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland are now in:

• Kip McDaniel ‘00 in the men’s 4- finished third and moves into the semi-finals tomorrow.

• Jon Beare (husband of Shawnigan's Head Coach and teacher Danielle Beare) in the lwt men’s 4- finished third and moves into the semi-finals tomorrow.

• Kyle Hamilton (husband of Shawnigan coach and assistant House Director Erica Hamilton) in the men’s 8+ won their heat with the fastest time of the day, by several seconds, to move straight into the final on Sunday. Apparently they put a scare into the competition as they spoke about in the Toronto Star.
