Pretty much every rowing college had a make-or-break weekend this past May 11-13 with crews lining up for ten different regional championships. Twitter has become a lifeline for college rowing coaches and fans – with teams, regatta organizers, and row2k tweeting results in practically real-time, there’s no need to wait until Monday morning to see [...]
Another San Diego Crew Classic is in the books, and the opportunity to race against other conference crews (and the resulting polls shuffle) proves that it’s a race that many varsity rowing programs take seriously.
