Berg River Canoe Marathon - Well done, team!

We’re starting the week with a big shout-out to four brave paddlers from Stanford who took on the tough Berg River Canoe Marathon this past weekend. This race stretches over 4 days in chilly, windy Cape conditions, and they did it!

• Siya Kolpati - 39th overall
• Matthew Privett - 13th overall, 2nd in U23
• Grant Conlon - 52nd overall
• Neriyah Dill - 21st overall, 3rd woman overall, 1st U23 woman

Well done Siya, Matthew, Grant and Neriyah, you’ve made us proud!
