(October, 2010) Waylon Munch, Chris Bruhn and Zach Schmitz paddled the "Civil Sinker" to near victory in the 2010 Cardboard Boat Race held on Bagley pond. The canoe-styled vessel held up well to the challenge and proved to be a strong contender to the outrigger-styled boat built by the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering students.
