Just one month after each John Hunter Regatta, those in charge of the yearly event at the Lake Lanier Olympic Rowing Center meet to review how it went. It’s a sort of “post-mortem,” as event director Jeff Kish calls it, that helps them improve future installments of the regatta for competitors and spectators alike. But Kish and his colleagues also use that meeting to begin coordinating with clubs and colleges to set dates for next year’s event.
