John Carroll University
Rowing was established in
1992 by students who had an
interest in the sport. The
team spent its first years
using borrowed equipment and
setting the groundwork for
the future.
There are both men’s
and women’s teams at
JCU in both the novice and
varsity categories. All four
teams travel together, but
compete in separate men's
and women's events.
Growth has come quite rapidly
for the team and it is currently
the largest club sport at
JCU. The team now owns all
of its own equipment, including
three new boat purchases in
the last four years.
JCU rows out of the Cleveland
Rowing Foundation boathouse
in downtown Cleveland, located
on the shores of the Cuyahoga
River.
The team has medaled in
several top races around the
country, including: Head of
the Elk, Head of the Ohio,
Head of the Occoquan, Governor’s
Cup, MACRA, Dad Vail, and
several others throughout
the years.
Through the hard work and
dedication of every member
and coach over the years,
John Carroll University Rowing
has reached its current success.
