The Club Four (right) raced on Saturday at the Head of the Charles in what were epically rainy and nasty conditions. Despite that and some “not so great” practices leading up to the big event, these guys pulled off their best piece when it mattered the most! 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.

Dear Alumni and Friends, The 2022-23 season is already shaping up to be a step forward. The last three years were challenging for our team. As we emerged from two years which were interrupted (or canceled) by the pandemic, some of our Varsity crews struggled to find speed last spring. However, their leadership proved helpful […]
