Both the Occoquan Chase and Challenge 2017 regattas are fall favorites in the region with over 300 entries from high schools, colleges, and masters teams from the east coast down a winding scenic course. We chose these events to show that athletes with intellectual disability can compete in mainstream events and not just adaptive races. No Limits! AWL boated 7 entries over the two weekends in the Men’s Open and Junior Double (2x) categories with Luke Arnold and Matt Muffleman surprising the pack with the Men’s Open 2x win at the Occoquan Chase.
