BOATHOUSE OF CHAMPIONS VOL. 8

FALL 2024

Welcome to the 8th Edition of Boathouse of Champions

What do you remember most about being part of Stanford Rowing?

For me, what stands out is the quality of light on the water as the sun rose. I loved sharing with others that slender moment as we turned the boat around, somewhere past the wires, enclosed within a cocoon of pastel light. Though each of us answers that question on our own terms, each has a heartfelt response, one that anchors our experience being part of Stanford Rowing.

The Rowing Association’s mission is to ensure that the Stanford rowing experience continues for both current and future students.

Since our last issue, The Rowing Association has maintained a busy pace both on and off the water.

Hopefully, you enjoyed the regular updates of Stanford alumni competing in the Paris Olympics — or the report of our terrific showing of current and alumni rowers in the 60th Head of the Charles Regatta.

Don’t miss the photos/story of the 1980–81 Frosh Men’s Crew, who went out for a row on Homecoming / Reunion weekend. Off the water, the Stanford Rowing Community gathered on Friday night of Homecoming weekend.

Also, thanks to the hard work of Mark Berwick and Tom Grace, we are pleased to announce a Networking Program designed to connect current rowers and recent alums with one another.

Finally, in November, we launched a series of “decade” calls with the twin goals of reconnecting friends of Stanford Rowing with one another and announcing two funds that will support the current program.

Looking ahead, the Rowing Association is committed to fostering connections and supporting the success of Stanford Rowing, both now and in the future.
