Groton — High school students from around the state enrolled in the UConn ECE program, along with staff and students from UConn's Avery Point campus compete in the 8th annual UConn Avery Point/UConn Early College Experience cardboard boat races Wednesday at Eastern Point Beach. Competitors constructed boats of cardboard and duct tape. Heats were held for each group, with three heats for high school teams, and the winners of the heats raced in one last contest to determine an overall winner.
The event was expanded to 35-boats and moved to Eastern Point Beach because it has outgrown the small Avery Point waterfront beach.
