We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all who have supported Washington Rowing this past year. Thanks to the generosity of alumni, donors, parents, and friends, our teams were able to achieve remarkable success, including the men’s sweep at the IRA National Championship, the women’s fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championship, and the Huskies best-ever performance at an Olympic Games. As the landscape of college athletics continues to evolve, sustaining this level of excellence requires continuous support from our community. Your contributions, both through short-term gifts to our annual fund and long-term investments in our endowments, are crucial to ensuring that Washington Rowing remains the Championship program that it is.

The Washington

Experience

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.

"I’ve heard men shriek out with delight when the swing came in an eight; it’s a thing they’ll never forget as long as they live."
