Historical NoteReturn to Top
The official University of Washington Crew Team began in 1903, but the Huskies had been rowing on Lake Washington since early 1900. Although the program got off to a slow start (the team had a hard time finding schools to compete with) the program grew steadily in prestige until 1936 when the Varsity Crew took the gold in the Berlin Olympic Games. In addition to rowing in the Hudson River Classic, Poughkeepsie Regatta in New York and the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships, the Husky Crew have also rowed against teams from Egypt, England and the USSR. Today the Husky Crew can boast of winning many national collegiate championships, Olympic Gold and a proud history of over 100 years
The Varsity Boat Club wasn't established until 1910. Begun by Coach Hiram Conibear, the Varsity Boat Club was to be a social organization for all of the varsity upperclassmen who rowed on the team. It was originally housed in the old Coast Guard Station, a temporary building erected for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909.
Over the years, the Varsity Boat Club evolved into a student and alumni organization focused on fund-raising and support for the Crew program. Through Title IX, women were allowed to join the Varsity Boat Club in 1977. Today the Varsity Boat Club is open to both men and women who have rowed for four quarters or more.

Color Slides from the First Cincinnati
Regatta
The First Cincinnati Regatta was held on June 19, 1982 at the
East Fork State Park on Harsha Lake near Cincinnati, Ohio. The race was the
first National Collegiate Rowing Championship between Yale, Cornell, University
of California-Berkeley and Syracuse. The day long event with novice and junior
events as well as the first intercollegiate varsity race ended with Yale as the
winning team of the College Varsity race taking home the prize of an
all-expenses paid trip to the Henley Regatta in England. The event with numbers
in attendance around 6500 people, raised money for the Cincinnati Center for
Developmental Disorders.
From accompanying material: The slides are gifts of the Board
of the Cincinnati Center for Developmental Disorders in appreciation of your
efforts to make the Regatta successful. To the coaches who were willing to come
if invited, as well as those who were here, we hope you can use them to promote
your program over the next year.
