Post by Long'n Strong »

Are there any US college teams that have returned to team boat rowing?

Yes, a decent number, it would seem from social media.

Quick clarification, is any boat that isn't a single? Or are we just referring to fours or eights?

In any case, I saw that the Syracuse men are in eights.

(Also, wouldn't this fit better in one of the collegiate sections?)

Fours and eights.

Yes, but I didn't want to make the same post twice (for men, and again for women).

Generally, the teams that have access to or can afford daily testing have been able to row in fours/eights this fall. Most teams are scraping by in singles or pairs by households so long as there aren't any outbreak clusters. I know Michigan and Duke women have been in eights.

More and more team boats are appearing on the Charles, doubles , pairs , Coxed fours and a few eights.

Launch traffic has picked up along with it .

I don’t think it’s simply a matter of being able to afford testing as many programs who are well funded aren’t back on the water. More it has to do university policy.

Anyone doing the “distanced four”?....an 8 rigged as four? Now that’s distanced.
