Fall 2020

                              Singles and Small Boats

While COVID-19 guidelines bar the usage of the eights that OSU Crew typically trains in, the pandemic has not stopped us from getting on the water and participating in the sport we love. Small singles and doubles have become the new modus operandi for the program as we hope for the pandemic to ease and allow for the safe operation of large boats again.

OSU Crew builds a home!

With the nationwide cancellation of regattas, OSU Crew turned their talents to construction: they bought and built a massive steel shelter for their boats and other equipment at Lake Carl Blackwell. After 2 years of storing equipment on the shoreline, the generosity of family and friends of the team allowed for the purchase of much needed protection for the program!

Spring 2019 Racing

Regional Regattas

Throughout April and May, the team competed in the Plains Regional Regatta (KS), Great Plains Championship (KS) winning medals against crews from WSU, KSU, KU, St. Thomas, SLU, CSU, Denver and more.

Fourth in the Nation

Held on the Olympic course in Gainesville, GA, the ACRA National Championship gathers 1700+ athletes from over 75 schools coast to coast. Excellent work by our NW4+ taking fourth in the program's first ACRA appearance.

All Regional Team

OSU athletes Bailey Harper and Ellie Pope were selected to represent the plains region on the ACRA all regional team! This recognition is based on the athletic achievements and potential of the individual athlete. OSU Crew also had 9 athletes presented with the ACRA All Academic award for recognition of high performance in the classroom as well as on the water.

2019 Indoor Erg Sprints

In February, our team competed against regional rivals at both the Shocker Sprints in Wichita, KS and the Riversport Erg Challenge in Oklahoma City, OK.

Competing in both 2000m and 500m sprints, OSU Athletes won medals in every event we entered.
