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!
