We had about 200 participants from all over the country. Most paddlers are content not to enter any competition and just see how many times they can go over the Falls.

We had about 200 participants from all over the country. Most paddlers are content not to enter any competition and just see how many times they can go over the Falls. The water level was 1.65 and stayed at that level through out the event. Race and Freestyle Event-August 20, 2011 @ Ohiopyle Stte Park. We had a beautiful day on August 20, 2011 despite some heavy rains in Western PA on Friday. A good time was had by both paddlers and spectators. Some of the results of the competition are as follows: Falls Sprint Race Overall Winner of the Hallas Cup and $300 was Devon Chalfant (20) of Cheswick PA. Devon is an up and coming racer who has paddled his whole life.Rounding up the top three cash prizes was Geoff Calhoun ($100) who has won this race for the last five years in a row. Geoff Calhoun is one of the top Wildwater (Downriver) racers in the US and a former member of the US National Wildwater Team. Geoff is the only boater to run this race in less than 1 minute. Only 4 seconds separated the top three racers, so you can see where one wrong move can cost you the race. Rachel Dean, of Cumberland Maryland, had the fastest time in the Women's division. FreeStyle Overall Winner of the Jeff Snyder Cup and $300 was Jake Greenbaum of Mill Run, PA. Rounding out the top three were Eli Loiben of Munhall PA ($200) and Adam Johnson of Morgantown WV ($100), last year's winner. Next year's event will be held on August 18, 2012.
