2009 USA Canoe Kayak National Championships - Day 2

Day two of the 2009 USA Canoe Kayak Sprint National Championships is complete. Athletes from all over the US met this morning to compete in the 500 meter events, which were held on the site of the 1996 Centennial Olympic paddling & rowing events.

Today's action saw cooler weather, more fast times, and VERY close finishes.
Day three features 200 meter heats and races, and distance events. The racing program starts back up at 8am EST.

The event was broadcast live via The LCKC Channel with a couple of interruptions due to technical difficulties with our Internet feed. This is an emerging technology and we've had almost 40,000 different users watch the event over the last 2 days. If we had that many people visit our venue this week, imagine the traffic jam! We have our techie fingers crossed that tomorrow's events will be covered without interruption.

Video from today's races have been posted to the On Demand Library at The LCKC Channel, and are also being rebroadcasted on our video loop for those who may have missed it.

All of today's official results at Powerhouse Timing.

Once again, LCKC wishes to extend our thanks to all the teams, coaches, officials, and volunteers that contributed to making this year's Nationals possible. Good luck tomorrow!
