University of Wisconsin-Madison Takes First Place for 4th Straight year in 2006 National Concrete Canoe Competition:
This was no ordinary boat race. The competitors weren’t sleek sailboats riding the winds or high-powered yachts muscling their way across the finish line. These were canoes. Made of concrete. Hundreds of pounds of concrete. And the only thing propelling these water-worthy crafts was the determination of the engineering students that created them in a bid to win the ‘America’s Cup of Civil Engineering.’
