2024 Fall Season Recap

With each year our team grows stronger, bigger, and faster. With over 70 members on the team and a few weeks of rowing on the water, URI Crew had a fantastic head racing season with strong showings across the Men's and Women's sides.

​

URI first competed at the Head of the Snake Regatta with a impressive performance by the Women's Varsity 4, securing a strong 5th-place finish overall. Both the Men’s and Women’s teams competed with two Varsity 8s each, enjoying some fun competition with each other and the other schools there.

​

Only 2 weeks later, URI went to the Head of the Charles Regatta for the second year in a row sending a Women's Varsity 4, Women's Varsity 8, and Mens Varsity 8. While battling The Charles challenging course (known as a Coxswains race) and tough competition all boats raced well. The Women's Varsity 8 made our programs history by being the first Women's 8 to officially qualify, rather than receiving a bid, for The Charles. We will see you back on the course next fall. 

​

URI Crew ended the season with a bang at the Head of the Fish Regatta where most boats got a top 10 finish. This was the first race for this years Novice class and it was a hard one with rough gusts of wind and delayed starts. This did not discourage our Mens Novice 8 who ended up going home with hardware from a 3rd place finish.

​Thank you to everyone who helped to make the season possible. Without the outstanding support of parents and alumni, we would not have had the food or means to sustain a roster of 70 rowers. We are looking forward to a long season in the erg room getting ready for our most exciting spring yet.
