The 1878 crew team that won the Henley Regatta
Crew (or rowing) at Columbia consists of three distinct teams:
- Men's Heavyweight Rowing Team
- Men's Lightweight Rowing Team (founded in 1922)
- Women's Rowing Team (founded in 1986)
History
Crew has a long history at Columbia, with men's team originally being founded in 1873. In 1878 the "Columbia College Boat Club" became the first non-English team to win a race at the Henley Royal Regatta. The team last won a US national championship in 1929.
Current set up
Currently, the teams practice on the Harlem River. Why they moved their boathouse from the Hudson, nobody knows.
