It was a great day of racing all around!  Please enjoy the slideshow below.  Photos courtesy of Barbara Levenson.





As a final update, the Connecticut River has been on the rise for quite some time now.  As it passed into what is known as 'flood stage' the City of Middletown has removed our docks until further notice, causing us to relocate out practice operations about 25 minutes down the road to Lake Pocotopaug in East Hampton, CT.  We will be rowing there until further notice as we prepare for next weekend's face off against Smith, Colby, WPI and Middlebury.  


The team's spring schedules are linked below.

Wesleyan Crew Winter Update!!

Greetings to all!!

We hope you all had a safe and happy holiday season.  While the members of both squads have been hard at work in the gym and Rowing Center, our supportive community of parents and alumni have been hard at work in other areas!

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters we have been able to add some great additions to our program!

As you may know by now, both men's and women's programs will be rowing in brand new boats come Spring Break!  These new boats are some of the best equipment available, and we can't wait to get rowing in them!

And speaking of Spring Break, we are in the final planning stages of our annual trip to Deland, Florida.  We will be staying at the beautiful Hontoon Landing Resort and Marina on the St. Johns River, just outside of Daytona Beach.  For years this location has been a perfect place for us to train.

WesCrew will be an exclusive guest over the 10 days at Hontoon.  We have full run of the beautiful resort, and access to our own private dock for launching and landing shells!  It doesn't get any better than this!


Finally, we have also done some work in our Rowing Center.  Recently we acquired a rare 'Total-Row' machine from US Champion and Wesleyan alum Jonathan Moss.  Moss is a member of Wesleyan Crew's prestigious community of National competitors.

Adding to the Total Row machine is a pair of 'Shox Box'  and of course our beloved Gamut Ergometer!

As you can see, we think we are geared for terrific growth and improvement over the next few seasons, and we appreciate your continued support!
