2021 Outlook - "Since last August Northeastern University has done a remarkable job of navigating the COVID-19 challenge. All students are COVID tested 3x per week and the protocols for preventing transmission of COVID, contact tracing, and quarantining have proven to be very robust and effective. All students, including student-athletes, have had and continue to have the option of learning in-person or online. About 80% of our team has opted to return for in-person on-campus learning and team training.
"We made all training during the fall season optional and focused mainly on small boat rowing and endurance training. Our boathouse is about 5 miles from campus and we saw a solid number of oarsmen biking down to the boathouse 3-6 days per week to train. The fall season proved to be great from a development standpoint and we’re going to take a hard look at whether or not the traditional approach to the fall (i.e. head racing, team practices 6 days per week) is really the best thing for the development of a college racing team that aspires to peak over 2000m in June.
"We resumed all-team training on January 23rd – we got on the water once before the river froze but it was a fun outing! We’re now in the throes of some of the traditional winter training work that New England rowing teams know so well. We operate in two groups and all training and activity is “masks on all the time” with athletes appropriately spaced out with additional air-handling and air-cleaning measures in place. We’re incredibly proud of the team’s attitude and effort, and, we’re grateful for the opportunity we have to continue to build our culture and train at a high level. Our co-captains Rex Berger and Braeden Camp continue to demonstrate steady and inspiring leadership and the team is making measurable progress. We’re committed to doing everything we can to give our athletes, and in particular our great group of seniors, a meaningful rowing season this spring."

2021 Outlook - "We have been rowing and training together as a team since September under university, conference, NCAA and CDC guidelines. We will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our student athletes as we prepare to compete in a number of local races this spring, culminating with the CAA Championship on the Cooper River in Cherry Hill, NJ. We are looking forward to putting all of our work over the past two years on display this spring."
