Emory Crew is launching a new program. The team is selling space on oars. You can put any message that you would like on the oar. Name it after yourself, dedicate it to someone else, or simply put a message on it. The message will go on the space between the oar handle and the oar sleeve. It will stay there for as long as the oar is around. As your oar is taken out for practice each day, your message will be fresh on the mind of an Emory Rower. This is a great way to create a message that will be remembered and seen for a long time. It is also an excellent way to support Emory Crew. The price for one oar is $300. Please e-mail the team at eucrew@gmail.com if you are interested in buying a message on an oar.

Coaches of each team could submit up to three candidates from their teams, and selections were
made by the elected regional representative. The student-athlete must row in the team’s top boat.
Other criteria used were:
2,000 meter erg scores, career racing results, accomplishments within the team, and the coaches
recommendation. These honorees will be recognized at the ACRA national championship on May
