WASHINGTON, D.C. - The North Carolina rowing team picked up valuable experience and retained the Class of 2006 Cup in a morning of racing against Georgetown Saturday on the Potamac River. The Tar Heels won the varsity eight and varsity four races, the former of which determines which school keeps the trophy for the coming year. UNC also had the trophy in 2009.
