Welcome!
The spring season is here!! Water practice is in full swing (get it?) every morning at 5:15 at the boathouse. We survived our three month hiatus from the water and are excited for the fast-paced sprint races that define spring regattas.
Thank you to all of our family and friends for your continued support! Your contributions have taken this team to a new level. We are in the process of buying a brand new, top quality 8+ and are creating some major competition for some of the best D1 schools in the nation!
This season is already shaping up to be our greatest yet!
Row Hard, Cox Loud!
