Patrick spins highly abrasion-resistant yarn for military applications, moisture-absorption and -retention yarn for fiber-optic...
...arduous journey to Annapolis, Md., on a bus with no air conditioning didn’t seem to faze the Crimson heavyweights, as the No. 5 varsity eight maintained its perfect record with a nine-second victory over Penn and No. 15 Navy. Setting the tone for the day, the crew improved to 5-0 on the season by completing the 2,000-meter course on the Severn River in 5:54.50, while the winless Quakers came in at 6:03.71 and the Midshipmen finished in 6:07.16.
