IU Women's Rowing

Recommended Posts

Sounds like the ladies are in a good position to continue last year's momentum!  Special recognition to freshman Haley Decker, who is the daughter of our own board member KDecker1 (and his wife who shall remain nameless until she gets her own account, lol).  Haley had never been involved with rowing (she was a premier tennis player at Gibson Southern High School), but thought this would be a good fit.  Hard work and dedication paid off and she is on the team.  Congrats Haley!

I was hoping to get some info from a team member that just made the team, but evidently the team only travelled with 2 new members, and she wasn't able to. This is another sport I'm looking forward to learning about!

March 12th is kind of an unofficial start- Spring Break event on Lake Lemon (if you go to Lake Lemon, be sure to go to the Port Hole Inn- great food!). March 25 is vs MSU, so that's the first named opponent match

Hoosiers Earn Split at Big Ten Double Dual

The No. 13 Indiana rowing team traveled to Lake Macbride for the Big Ten Double Dual hosted by the University of Iowa on Saturday and came away with a win against Minnesota and a loss to No. 12 Wisconsin.

The Hoosiers were able to win four of the seven races against Minnesota in the morning session on their way to a 39-33 win over the Gophers.

The 1V8 crew finished with a time of 6:35.10 and 9.5 second ahead of Minnesota's 1V8.
