Dear Alumni and Friends, The spring has been an exciting time for our rowers. On March 30, we kicked off the season with two dual races on Bucknell’s home course on the Susquehanna River, racing five eights total: three varsity eights and two novice eights. In the first round, we swept Rutgers University (ACRA V8 […]
Our training trip prior to Henley Royal Regatta was once more filled with epic impressions of beauty and – a lot of hard work. With the help of our Swiss supporters and donors, we were able to stay at the National Team Training Center and felt like “the real deal” for a week. Our Henley […]
The Club Four (right) raced on Saturday at the Head of the Charles in what were epically rainy and nasty conditions.

They finished 18th overall, eighth amongst colleges and […]
Thanks to the efforts of our varsity team members and our staff, we were able to recruit a promising novice class this fall. As always, the work over winter will determine how they do in the spring. Putting the novices into fours (right) has its merits and challenges. Just another beautiful fall day on the […]
The first head race of the fall, but more importantly the novices first race! Learning how to de-rig and load boats, shaky rowing and general confusion are memories these guys will have in common with most of you! But the varsity guys are smiling too, must have been the wins!
