Facility
[edit]The team practiced at Lake of the Woods until the fall of 2007 when it relocated to the Rappahannock River. After flooding of the river washed out a dock, the program began rowing at Aquia Creek in Stafford, Virginia. At Hope Springs Marina, the crew team practices in the morning, six days a week in the fall and spring, weather permitting.
Status of the team
[edit]In August 2007 the University's administration declared that the program would be recommended for long-term suspension. The team was successfully reinstated through the efforts of alumni, current rowers, and the University as a whole. However, in the spring of 2014, it was announced that the team would be losing its varsity status and would be transitioning to a club program pending student interest. The team is currently underneath "club" status, and reports to the University of Mary Washington's department of campus recreation.
Events
[edit]On November 12, 2016, the team dedicated a WinTech 8+ men's shell to Robert Ericson, a team member who died in April 2014.[1]
