Excerpt from NENSA U16 Webpage:
The NENSA U16 Eastern Championships began modestly in 1992 and has grown into one of the highlights of the season for junior athletes. Each New England state and New York can qualify their fastest 24 – U16 (Ages: 14-15) year old boys and girls. Four races take place over 3 days. Seeded wave starts ensure match racing at its finest. This event will typically see invited entries from other regions within the US and Canada. Please direct any event questions to Isabel Caldwell at isabel@nensa.net.
