The Women's Novice 4+ made history as they earned a bronze medal at the ACRA National Championships in May!
The Rowing Club at Indiana University was originally founded in 1984, and disbanded in 2017. The reorganized club is currently in its second year, and is looking to build a nationally competitive team.
Experienced high school rowers and coxswains are encouraged to join, but rowing experience is not necessary to join the rowing club. Having an athletic background and a competitive drive is more than sufficient to succeed in as a collegiate rower. The majority of rowing programs across the country are made up of walk-ons from the student body who never rowed before college.
Fill out the form below and a coach will contact you shortly.
Tryouts begin on Monday August 31!
We hope to see you there.
