June 23, 2008 -- Cotopaxi, CO
Roiling runoff in the Arkansas River made for the fastest finish this century in the FIBArk 26-mile downriver race Sunday.
FIBArk organizers celebrated the 60th anniversary of the prestigious boating contest which brings avid boaters to Salida for
a four-day event as varied as the river itself. The crown jewel which culminates FIBArk is the downriver race from Salida
to Cotopaxi, a grueling event that is the marathon of boat races.
Geoff Calhoun won -- his third win also winning in '05 & '07 -- he has won every FIBArk Downriver race that he has entered.
He joins Rodger Paris '(54, 56, & 58) as a three time winner but trails Gary lacy a six time winner (76, 77, 79, 83, 84, 87)
and Andy Cora a five time winner (85, 92, 93, 96 & 06).
