Format Change: Selecting Great
Oaks MISSA Representatives
Recently
several team representatives have asked how we can reduce the strain
and effort required to attend MISSA regattas. Geographically we have
a large District that requires 12 - 14 hours to go from one side to
the other. The concern many have is that such travel requirements
may have a negative effect on our student's school work and grades.
