Seven teams of St. Joseph’s College students recently competed in a cardboard canoe race at the Alfond Center pool on campus. Canoe construction began at 7 p.m. and racing started 8:15 p.m. Prizes were donated by Friendly’s, 5 Star Cinema, and Bon Appetit for best costume, best canoe design and fastest canoe team.
