Celebrating over 30 years of rowing at UCF.

Although Central Florida Rowing is a club sport, the team has a long history of success. Rowing was one of the earliest athletic activities on campus, and in fact it was the first UCF program to win a state championship (1973) and regional championship (1972).

Below is the incomplete Captains and Champions list compiled by Brice Crossley. We are seeking any and all information to fill out the list and make it more complete. Please let us know.
