We are PROUD to annouce that MBA has officially won its first GOLD MEDAL...in the Junior Men Novice 4+ Race.  The medal was rightfully earned for the MBA (A) four as the boat battled back and forth for the first place spot against Savannah Country Day School for the entire 2000 meter race triumphing by a half of a second in the last strokes of the race.  Holding strong in the flight as well was MBA (B) who took the third place finish with open water in front of the rest of the flight.
