This year we will have four programs:

Learn-to-row – for anyone who hasn’t been on the water in a rowing shell!

Novice – for those newbies who are eager to develop their rowing and racing skills

Club – for anyone who wants to get out on the water with their friends and continue improving their rowing

Varsity – for those people who want to train and compete for Dal at the provincial and national level!

On October 31st and November 1st, 2015, the Canadian University Rowing Championships (CURC) was held, for the first time ever, East of the Olympic Basin in Montreal and came to Lochaber, Nova Scotia. This historic event, hosted by St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, brought rowing crews from across the country to the East Coast to battle for the title of Men’s and Women’s Canadian University Champions.

Dal made some impressive finishes, finishing ahead of our Atlantic Rivals, St. FX, in all but one of our races. Some notable races include:

-Lightweight Women 2x (Kat Merwin and Lauren Hodgins) who finished in 1st place in the C Final with an impressive time of 7:59.14
-Lightweight Women 1x (Kat Merwin) who finished in 3rd place in the B Final with a time of 8:34.94
-Women 1x (Lizzie O’Carrol) who finished in 4th place in the B Final with a time of  8:36.60
-Men 2- (Connor Booker and Matt McGreer) who finished 4th in the B Final with a time of 7:28.48
-Lightweight Women 4+

Our Men’s and Women’s 8+’s finished in 3rd and 4th places in the B Finals, with times of 6:27.68 and 7:25.53 respectively. For a full list of results in both the time trials (October 31) and the finals (November 1), head on over to our results page: https://dalrowing.com/results/. Congratulations to the University of Western Ontario, who took home both the Men’s and Women’s Championship titles this year. In overall points totals, Dal’s men finished 12th and Dal’s women finished 9th out of the 22 participating universities.

Dalhousie is extremely proud of all its athletes, who have trained so hard throughout the season. We will be training even harder over the winter and through the summer so we can come out even stronger next season.

Row NS posted the winners of the RICOH sport awards yesterday and among the winners was our very own former Dalhousie Rowing Club president, Rachel Mays. Rachel won the Volunteer of the Year award and there is no one more deserving of this honour than her. Her hard work, dedication and sacrifice helped to build this team and has now been recognized at the provincial level. Congratulations Rachel.
