Jatragachi boys are title holders in the junior boys section last year.
Former champions La Martiniere and Modern High School along with Sushila Birla and National High School In the –CBSE “B” , all are strong contenders for the title in the junior girls section this time. They have won their respective races in this regatta so far and are expected to make the last eight grade this time . (EOM)
