We are excited to share with you the latest edition of our Washington Rowing SWEEP magazine, The 2025 Annual Review.
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all who supported Washington Rowing this past year. Thanks to the generosity of alumni, donors, parents, and friends, our teams achieved remarkable success, including the men’s IRA National Championship title for the second year in a row and the women’s fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championship.
Your support makes these accomplishments possible, and as we look ahead to the new year, we are inspired by the strength of our community and the legacy we continue to build together.
Please consider visiting the links below to make your contribution today and continue the legacy of Washington Rowing.
Rowing at University of Washington was established in 1901 with support from the local business community. In 1903, Washington entered its first intercollegiate race and defeated California, starting their storied “Cal Dual” rivalry.
From this beginning, UW crews became the champions in the nation, winning the gold medal in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin as described in the New York Times bestseller The Boys in the Boat. UW has continued its tradition of winning championships and Olympic medals, and today is one of the best university rowing programs in the world thanks to the support of alumni, the Washington Rowing Stewards and the local community.
With its state-of-the-art training facility located on the UW campus right on the shores of Lake Washington, surrounded by mountains and in close proximity to the iconic Montlake Cut, Washington Rowing attracts the best men and women student-athletes from the Pacific Northwest and around the world.

Washington Rowing, along with Windermere Real Estate, welcomes men’s and women’s crews from the Great Britain National Team, the women’s Canadian National Team and the Northeastern University men’s team for the 40th annual Windermere Cup, scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2026.
The Washington women’s rowing team will tackle a schedule packed with fierce competition next spring, as the Huskies will compete in several of the nation’s biggest and most prestigious regattas in 2026. Today, the Huskies revealed their competition schedule for the spring of 2026. Washington, which swept the Big Ten Championships and finished fourth at NCAAs last year, will take on a schedule that will include many of the nation’s top programs.
The annual event, co-hosted by the UW and Lake Washington Rowing Club, features a three-mile course, which starts in Lake Union, northeast of Gasworks Park, crosses Portage Bay, runs through the Montlake Cut and finishes in Union Bay of Lake Washington, just east of Conibear Shellhouse.
