1941 UW Varsity Poughkeepsie
Lenny O'Donnell/Rowing Archives  · December 28, 2017
This spectacular color footage from 1941 is of the University of Washington Varsity Eight, one of the finest collegiate crews in the pre-1980 era. Many of the oarsmen in the boat were in the 1940 Varsity boat that was heavily favored to win the Olympics after and undefeated year as national champions. The 1940 Olympics were canceled (twice!) because of the onset of WWII and the 1941 squad took out their frustrations in 1941, going undefeated and untested.

Watching my Pops at 3 seat is a heart pounding thrill. He spoke little of his rowing career. Thank you for saving and sharing this.
