The sixth annual Tampa Bay International Dragon Boat Races hit the waters of Garrison Channel on May 2.

Fifty-one teams from local corporate and community groups and paddlers from across the United States and Canada were vying to be Tampa Bay's No. 1 dragon boat team.

The Tampa Bay area's women's team, The Man-Son-Hing Lady Dragons, won the women's division and are the official 2009 Women's Cup Challenge champions. Their winning time was 2 minutes, 8 seconds, for the 450-meter course.

The team was made up of 20 women, a steersperson and a drummer.

The team owner and manager is Christopher Man-Son-Hing of Man-Son-Hing Martial Arts Academy in Egypt Lake. Visit www.mshmartial arts.com for information on the Man-Son-Hing Dragon Boat Club and the Man-Son-Hing Lady Dragons racing team.
