It's that time of the year - well, sort of. Some college teams have already begun practice, others are hoping to attract new rowers with virtual recruiting sessions, and some rowers won't see their boathouse until at least 2021. We live in strange times. That is why this week we are looking Wayback at collegiate rowing in the US before the pandemic.

We would love to do another reader submitted Wayback Wednesday in the near future. If you have any old school rowing images we should check out and are allowed to share, please send them to us.
