SOLAR SPLASH© '94 Results



  

The inaugural event, SOLAR SPLASH '94, was held in late August at the Pewaukee Yacht Club, about an hour west of Milwaukee. The event drew nine American teams and two teams representing Japan. There were two separate competitions in which the teams could participate. All eleven teams participated in the 200m Sprint Event. The 2-hour Endurance Event saw 10 competitors. Unlike the 1996 event, there was no Overall Winner of Solar Splash. The team from the Kanazawa Institute of Technology in Japan walked away with both the Sprint and Endurance Titles.
