During the USODA Team Trials, Mason Keene qualified to compete at the IODA North American Championship. The regatta was held in July of 2024. Below is his recap of his experiences:
The 2024 North American championship was an amazing experience. The venue was Club Nautico de San Juan which resided in the heart of San Juan Puerto Rico.
