Emory Crew competed in the Head of the Charles in Boston last weekend, the biggest and most competitive fall race in the world. The team took three boats this year, which is the most in team history. The Varsity Women’s 4+ came into the race this year as defending champions, and once again brought home medals with a fourth place finish, solidifying Emory Crew’s position as a serious contender on the national level. The Varsity Men’s 4+ finished fourteenth in their extremely competitive event, clinching a guaranteed spot in the race for next year and improving on last year’s results.

At the present moment, the varsity women are held back by their current racing shell; a ten year old boat that is well past its prime. We are fundraising for the purchase of a new 8-person Vespoli shell that will help us to compete against better funded varsity programs at the national regattas we will soon be attending.
We have currently raised $31,617.09 of $35,000 that is 90.33% of the way to our goal! Donating is now easier than ever: Go to http://emorycrew.kintera.org to complete the donation form. You will receive an e-mail confirmation and a tax receipt by mail from the university.
