Rowing

From Coaches Larry Noble and Jason Steele:

“Last year, you helped us raise a record-breaking $100,000 for WPI Rowing. This support funded our spring break trip to Florida and helped purchase a new Hudson Eight oared shell for the men's team. The generous contributions of WPI Rowing alumni, friends and family help keep the cost of the Florida trip down for the student-athletes while providing the best equipment for them to compete.

Your donations this year will help support the spring break training trip to Cocoa Beach once again. This trip, the most productive week of the year, is crucial for training. With the distractions of school and life left in Worcester, the focus is entirely on rowing and team building.

Additionally, we always have equipment needing to be replaced, and your generous support allows us to do that today and in the future.”

From Student-Athlete Henry Wagg ’26:

“As a freshman, I represented WPI and the U.S. at the Henley Royal Regatta where I learned to compete at the highest level. Rowing has also given me enduring friendships, forged during long, hard workouts on land and water. Rowing has provided me with a sense of purpose and community that has helped me thrive athletically, academically, and socially at WPI. The generous support of the WPI Rowing family provides the resources for success, while giving student-athletes truly wonderful experiences.”

From Student-Athlete Sarah McCollem ’28:
“Being a student-athlete at WPI has made my college experience more rewarding and fun. My team feels like family, and I’ve made countless ‘oar-some’ friends and lifelong memories. Whether chasing PRs, racing to the finish, or supporting each other off the water, we grow together as athletes, students, and people. These experiences would not be possible without the support of our alumni, family, and friends.”
