Seeing the MSOE row team practicing on the Milwaukee River is more common than you think. They’re out here daily usually at dawn or dusk. They race in either 4or 8 person boats. The team consists of 25-35 students including rowers and coxswains. These are the steersman of the boat. Many of the rowers never took a stroke before joining the club. By the way, the group competes against Division one teams like Harvard. In fact, they’ve taken boats to the Division 1 championships five of the last six years. And they’re going back again this year.

This row team is privately funded. So, they’re always looking for more donations. On May 19^th, the row team is celebrating ten years in existence with a fundraiser at the Kern Center in Milwaukee. Click here for more information.
