Come hangout out at our boathouse on Aug 23th between 4pm and 7pm! See what the sport is about and eat some free food! The boathouse is located at 7560 Spillway Marina Rd.
If you’re not able to make it out, come on out to the introduction practices starting the following Monday at 5:15pm. We welcome members of all experience levels. Prior rowing experience is not required.
Practices during the semester are M/W/F 5:15pm-7:15pm. Competition crews practice every weekday 5:15pm-7:15pm. Practices include on-water training rowing technique, control, and race strategy, water safety, conditioning, and strength development.
Kansas State Men’s Crew was founded by Don Rose in 1963. Rose had been a Wisconsin coxswain and had coached at Princeton and Columbia. He came back to Manhattan and founded the Men’s Crew as the first rowing program in the Midwest.
In 1974, the Women’s Crew was founded, and the Junior (high school) crew followed in 1986. The Women’s Crew became an NCAA program in 1994 as K-State Rowing, and KSMC became co-ed for non-NCAA women.
The Men’s Crew is not sponsored by the K-State Athletics Department, but is a member of Kansas State Rowing Association, American Collegiate Rowing Association, and US Rowing Association.
Head Coach: Wesley Good
