The rowing team has had a successful fall season, marked by the opening of the Steinwachs Family Boathouse and notable performances at regattas.
Over the weekend of October 17, the team competed in the Head of the Charles regatta in Boston, with four boats participating. In the men's collegiate fours race, the Polar Bears finished 18th out of 40 boats.
The regatta is known for its challenging course, with many tight turns and bridges, making it demanding for the coxswain, who steers the boat. Coxswain Piper Wilson '26 shared her experience, saying:
There's a lot of tricky turns, and if you're near any other crews, it can get pretty dicey. I was going into it with the expectation that we'd be passing people and that it would be pretty intense. It was very easy just to drive in a straight line and tell my rowers to go really hard, and that was fun on its own.
