Our History

Emory University Crew was founded in 1990 as a club sport.
Since then, it has proven its ability to field strong crews, having competed
at the national level in regattas such as Dad Vail (Philadelphia, PA).

The program has developed in a series of progressive steps. Several
developments, fostered by increased University support, have in recent years
lead to the direct successes of the current squad.

In 1993, the program established itself on the shores of Stone Mountain
Lake. Only 15 minutes from campus, the lake is situated in Georgia’s Stone
Mountain Park. In 1997, with the support of the University, the team procured
land within the Park, and constructed the Jason Steele Boathouse. With a permanent home established for the team, the past few years have been spent expanding the membership of the team and continuously updating our fleet of shells.

With our established boathouse, significant new additions to our equipment,
an experienced, dedicated coaching team, and a core of hard-working, talented
athletes, Emory Crew has become a competitive rowing program in the
Southeast.
