During the intercession following winter finals in January, all crews will pack up their unis and boats and head down to Austin, TX for a week-long training trip on Lady Bird Lake.

This Saturday, we will be on our way to Austin for this year's training trip.  The weather looks great and the guys are excited to get back on the water after the last six weeks of hard work on the erg.  This is our second year down in Austin and we are very excited to return.  The town and the lake are great.  So are the people.  There will be more to come as soon as we arrive down there and I will keep everyone updated with pics and videos from the trip.

Winter training has begun and the heavyweights have hit the ergs. Please see the videos section for a great introduction.

The Varisty Lightweights raced the heavies today and both teams had great pieces. We did 8 x 2500 and traded pieces with both the varsity and 2v crews. It promises to be a great season!
