After a strong showing at Dad Vail Regatta this past weekend, N.C. State rowing is looking toward next semester, and the begining of another strong novice men’s and women’s squad. All students attending N.C. State are welcome to come row.

No prior rowing experience is needed!

The NC State Crew returned from a fun, productive, and challenging Spring Break training session at Turkey Lake in Orlando, Florida.

The following weekend on March 15th they put all the training to use at the Aiken Sprints in Aiken, SC.  The team had great success and returned with several medals!  Once results are up on Row2k.com, they’ll be linked from here.

The team competes at the Clemson Sprints in Clemson, SC this Saturday March 22nd!

This year the club is going to have it’s annual spring training week at Turkey Lake in Orlando, Florida.  The team will spend countless hours on and off the water training hard for 4 days (5 nights).

A Google Calendar has been implemented to the website in place of the php/MySQL database calendar. This will allow us to keep everything up to date more easily with the excellent Google Calendar interface. Clicking the calendar link (on the left info box or under the “Events” tab) will display an iframe snapshot of the calendar. The latest attendance policy for the Spring 2008 season has also been updated.

Practice for the Spring ‘08 season officially begins on Monday 2/4 for men and Tuesday 2/5 for the women. Be sure to check the practice schedule, and use the contact us form if you have any questions. As always for afternoon practices, rides are available from Talley Student Center to the lake. If you need a ride be there ~3:25pm. If you’re rowing this spring, join the list serv for the latest team updates. There is a tentative team dinner planned for Friday 2/9.

Let’s have a great season!

The Spring Season schedule has been finalized! Here’s a list of some important dates on the horizon:

The alumni database has been integrated into the existing database. While it will take time for past alumni page data to be copied into the database, if you’re a past rower, coxswain, or coach, please register as an alumnus.

The goal is to find crew alumni and create events to link the active team to past members. One event held in the past was the Alumni Weekend, which took place Lake Wheeler.

If you wish to join the alumni association, fill out your information in the Become a Member section. This will give you your own info page, with a picture submission, as well as add you to the alumni mailing listserv. News and results will be sent to the list periodically.
