Tuesday’s early rain storms couldn’t dampen the spirits of MICDS seniors participating in the annual boat race at Polk Pond. Each senior advisory built a boat out of cardboard, duct tape, and plastic before attempting to stay afloat while crossing the pond.
The frantic competition took place in four heats and saw many boats sunk in the melee or succumb to the fatigue of the race. In the end, the Wells advisory, with Jake Kellner at the helm, secured first place and took home the trophy in this year’s Senior Boat Race.
Following the race seniors rushed into Polk Pond before drying off and enjoying a gift from the senior parents.
