Standing along the shores of Evergreen Lake on June 19 felt like being part of a beach party and a college football game simultaneously.
More than 300 people surrounded the lake’s southwest corner, cheering with energy and enthusiasm, as they watched college students race their concrete canoes around buoys and sprint-paddle back toward the shore.
This year, the Colorado School of Mines in Golden and Evergreen Lake hosted the 30th annual National Concrete Canoe Competition, which is put on by the American Society for Civil Engineers. Twenty teams from universities in the United States, Canada and China qualified to compete in the finals in Colorado out of 205 universities that competed in regional competitions.
