Fall Recap

November 24, 2023

With a dominant victory over Ohio State continuing our over 25 year streak, the fall racing season has officially come to an end. This year Michigan fielded 3 Varsity that all finished ahead of Ohio State’s Varsity 8+. Out of our four freshmen 8+’s three of them finished ahead of Ohio State’s Novices.

This Fall the team saw great success with over 60 freshmen trying out. Sunny weather and smooth water kicked off the season nicely as the freshmen began taking their first strokes and the varsity began preparing for the season ahead.

The team as a whole saw great success at our two larger fall regattas, Head of the Rock in Rockford Illinois and Head of the Eagle in Indianapolis Indiana. Along the way friendships were formed, bonds strengthened and lots of lessons were learned

Head of the Charles in Boston Massachusetts was our biggest regatta this fall where a portion of our varsity got to travel across the nation to compete on one of the largest stages in the world. We would like to thank all of the alumni and donors who make that journey possible.

While the Fall in some individuals' eyes may have yielded one or two medals less than they liked, overall the team found great success and took many important steps in preparation for the national championship this spring. The hunger for more medals will drive our training as we head inside for the winter.
