​Colorado State Crew briefly existed in the 80s before it dissolved due to a lack of interested athletes. We re-started in 2005 and have been consistently welcoming new athletes since! Last year we welcomed almost 40 members in the fall and we are always excited to welcome new rowers and coxswains.

 

At Colorado State Crew, our mission is to provide students at CSU with the opportunity to participate in one of the most prestigious collegiate sports and to find a group of people that make the college experience truly special. We strive to be a competitive presence at all of our competitions while preserving the camaraderie that makes this team so special. Through leadership opportunities, community service efforts, and team bonding events, we inspire individual development among our teammates, ultimately resulting in a team culture that values growth, community, and pride in Colorado State University.

 

Our co-ed team rows from the marina in South Inlet Bay on Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, CO, about a 20 minute drive from campus. Our team is reasonably competitive, and we take a relaxed but serious approach to rowing. Our team ranges from members who are sitting in the boat for the first time to members who rowed through all of high school as well. 

​

We practice on-water on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 4:30-7:00am in order to work around those with 8am class, on-water practice Saturday mornings from 7-11am, and we have land practice Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7-9pm. We also join a cross-fit gym over the winter to stay in shape and stay connected with the team between seasons. We usually compete in 5-6 regattas each year in the plains region, across the midwest. ​
