The Southeast region is made up of teams coming from Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, and over 350 crews raced for regional recognition.
AJRA crews competed at a very high level, with 12 out of 16 boats advancing to the finals, 8 crews bringing home medals, and finishing third as a club in the Overall Team Points competition.
