University of Florida Regains Concrete Canoe Top Spot - ULaval Finishes 2^nd

The University of Florida concrete canoe team was back in the winner’s circle for 2024. Its canoe was called Springseeker, both related to a “Fountain of Youth” theme and the innate searching all engineers do.

The Gators won the 37^th annual finals of the ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition, part of the 2024 ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championships, held at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

The vicetory marked Florida’s first concrete canoe championship since 2021, after back-to-back titles by California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in 2022 and 2023.

Rounding out the Top 5 in the overall standings following Florida were Universite Laval in 2^nd place; Cal Poly SLO in 3^rd; Virginia Tech in 4^th; and Western Kentucky University in 5^th.

ULaval’s Maple Drifter dominated the races, placing 1^st in all 5 finals – the women’s slalom, men’s slalom, women’s sprint, co-ed spring (earning the R. John Craig Memorial Award). Laval also earned the award for Best Technical Proposal.

The ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championships was made possible with funding from the ASCE Foundation.
