Recreational Sports

Interested in rowing?  We are seeking new rowers and coxswains.  Join us on Friday Sept 8 for the Involvement Fair at Foss Field followed by dinner and a tour of the boathouse at American Lake.  We are seeking new rowers and coxswains.  You can also contact Coach Dave (harveydp@plu.edu) for more information or with any questions.

Team members are expected to work hard in the classroom, on the water, in the erg room and in the weight room.  We believe that through hard work, fun, challenging ourselves and supporting each other we learn, become stronger and realize our potential.

Rowing is a unique team sport that requires mental toughness, a commitment to the success of the team and a willingness to push your physical limits.  PLU Men’s Rowing provides an avenue for fitness, fun, teamwork, competition, and lifelong friendships.

Leave the campus world to beautiful American Lake where you will experience the challenge of both strength and finesse; coming together as a team to move the boat with a combination of power and technique.

The fall season is from Sept 12 through Nov 5, 2017.  Training is at American Lake, rowing from the boathouse at Harry Todd Park.  The spring season will include 6 regattas competing against West Coast schools, including the final WIRA Championship Regatta in Sacramento, CA. 

With 13 returning athletes, the Men’s Rowing team will seek to build on its success during 2016-2017.  Rowing at PLU is a long-standing tradition and is backed by a generous alumni board.
