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.
