The Men's Heavyweight Rowing Team is one of three crew teams at Columbia.

Season

The Heavyweight crew season is divided between fall appearances by the varsity crew at the Head of the Charles Regatta (at Harvard) and the Princeton Chase, and the freshman crew at the Head of the Schuylkill (at Penn) and Belly of the Carnegie (at Princeton), followed by Cup Season in the spring where it takes part in a series of regattas, followed by the Eastern Sprints and IRA National Championships.
