Break out more confetti and prepare the already-crowded trophy case. The University of Florida has won another national title.
Less than a month after UF’s Eckhoff Steel Bridge Team made history by capturing its fifth consecutive national title, another UF civil engineering team paddled its way to its fifth national title (four in the last six years).
With a gator-laden vessel dubbed Reptilia, UF’s concrete canoe team narrowly won first overall at last weekend’s 38th annual ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. Virginia Tech placed second by less than a point, followed by Western Kentucky University, Texas A&M University and Université Laval.
