.59 seconds. That really is a split second. AUGH!!! That's how much Holy Cross beat us by this weekend. We had an awesome start and got half a boat length on everybody, but then in the last 100 meters the other teams picked up a better sprint than us. Holy Cross and us battled it out stroke for stroke with each boat getting ahead and then falling back in turn with each pass through the water. They just had one more stroke than we did and crossed the finish line first. We were so close.
