‘Contenders' retain top honors

AUBURN - Just minutes after 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon, the cannon fired as the last canoe team crossed the finish line, marking the end of the Great Race XXX.

When the smoke cleared and the numbers were tallied, it was the Perennial Contenders taking top honors in the long traditional course and Team Parker winning the short course.
