2025 Outlook - "After three years in the petite finals at nationals, the Varsity 8+ made its long sought-after return to the Grand Finals this past fall. The team also broke into the top-3 in the overall banner standings at the OUA Championships. The training atmosphere in the men's group this winter has been very positive as they push for more speed. As is typical of our spring season, the heavyweight and lightweight teams will be combining into a single men's squad in preparation for the Toronto-McGill Boat Race in May. Competition for seats in the Blue Boat that will look to avenge last year's loss to McGill and reclaim the Barber Pole should prepare the guys well for summer, and ultimately the fall 2025 university circuit. Go Blues!"

2024 Outlook - "The college racing calendar north of the border is flipped on its head, so our national championships wrapped up last November. That said, our young squad is racking up the meters in preparation for the annual 2-mile Toronto-McGill Boat Race in May. Most of the guys have at least one more year in the program, and with competition for seats in the top eight open to both the open and lightweight squads, we hope to start the year off with a strong showing in May against our peers from Montreal. Row Blues!"

The team will be working hard to continue the upward trend from this past season so that it carries through the winter, spring and summer into sprint racing next fall. It's an exciting time to be a Varsity Blue!"

2024 Seniors - 2

2024 Outlook - "We graduated many seniors in spring 2023. Coming into the fall, we thought this might be a rebuilding year. Our young women's varsity eight had other ideas. Despite a crew average of less than 2 years in the sport, with many having been novices in 2021 and 2022, our women put together a very strong showing in the fall sprint season. With most returning for at least one more year, we look forward to seeing what this group can do. Everyone pushing hard to defend our home waters at the Toronto-McGill Boat Race in May and to set ourselves up for a strong fall 2024 season."

We look forward to pushing the envelope this winter, spring and summer to prepare us for an even better championship season in fall 2020. It's an exciting time to be a Varsity Blue! "

2024 Outlook - "After a long process of rebuilding, the Toronto lightweight men were finally up to full roster strength this past year. The squad is young, eager and pushing for improvements this winter. With seats in the varsity eight at the Toronto-McGill Boat Race open to both heavies and lightweights, it should be a good spring of competition for those seats, all of which will hopefully set us up for a successful race in May and improved results in the fall 2024 sprint season. Row Blues!"

2025 Outlook - "The Varsity Blues lightweight women's group was the largest we have had in some time. This new mix of young talent and returning veterans performed well in our fall championship season. As is typical for our spring season, the lightweight and open women will now be combining into a single squad in preparation for the Toronto-McGill Boat Race in May. Competition for seats in the Blue Boat that will try for a 3-peat win against the Martlets in Montreal should prepare these women well for the summer, and ultimately the fall 2025 university lightweight circuit. Go Blues!"
