UW Headed To Sarasota For Two Days Of High-Level Racing
The Washington men’s rowing team faces its first major challenge of the 2024 season this Friday and Saturday when the Huskies race at the IRA Sarasota Invitational in Florida.
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.

The Washington men’s rowing team faces its first major challenge of the 2024 season this Friday and Saturday when the Huskies race at the IRA Sarasota Invitational in Florida.
The fifth-year women and the senior men won the marquee races as the UW Rowing program got the 2024 spring season underway with the 123rd annual Class Day Regatta Saturday on sun-soaked Montlake Cut.
Saturday, the Washington program will get the 2024 season underway with the Huskies’ annual tradition: Class Day. The legacy of Class Day goes back to the earliest days of the UW Rowing program, and gives fans and supporters their first look at the newest group of oarsmen and coxswains.
