Expectations:
We are ultimately looking for those ready to make an immediate impact! Succeeding on this team will require an athlete to be self-motivated, driven, team-orientated, and coachable. The try-out process will include various condition baselines -- 2-mile run, 10-minute erg, stadium run, etc. No prior rowing experience is necessary, as we’ll provide all the training and education needed. We do not have a limit on the number of student-athletes our roster. Our goal is to evaluate each person holistically and take whomever we believe can be a great teammate and contributor to our program.
Schedule:
Walk-on tryouts will begin on Monday Sept. 8 and will last 3-4 weeks. The walk-on practices will be from 6-8:30 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays during the tryout period, and will shift to the following schedule after selection.

Once we begin the tryout period, we will begin medical and eligibility clearances. Each individual will be notified through email and can either accept or deny the invitation in person.
Races will begin in early October and run through mid-November at the latest.
Winter training will shift from 20-hour practice max to 8 hours max during December. All winter training will be in the erg room and will include erging, circuits, cross training, and yoga.
In the spring the practice schedule will return to the schedule provided above. Races usually begin early March and go through conference championships in mid-May, with the NCAA championships at the end of May. If we make the NCAA championships, that will automatically make us top 22 in the country, earning us the title of most improved team in the country. How cool would it be to take a team from scratch to top 22!
