Greetings to our alumni, athletes, families, and friends of W-L Crew! As we count down to the start of the 2025 season, we are excited to share a variety of updates. Our fall 2025 newsletter features news about rower recruitment, winter conditioning, fundraising, and more. Get ready for those candy and wreath sales! (Rowers, we will update you soon.)

We invite you to read about our recent celebration marking the 50th anniversary of W-L Women’s Rowing—a truly special event that brought together alumnae, coaches, and friends to honor an important milestone in our program’s history. Be sure to check out the highlights and photos from this memorable celebration.

Kara’s Coach’s Corner column features updates on our summer and fall Learn-to-Row camps, open houses, winter conditioning, the W-L Crew Triathlon, and more.

On a more somber note, the Boosters want to take a moment to honor the memory of Paul Yager, a true legend in W-L Crew history who passed away in September. Paul’s legacy and dedication to the sport continue to inspire generations of rowers. We’re deeply grateful to his family for requesting donations to W-L Crew in his honor—an incredible gesture that will help sustain opportunities for our athletes.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of W-L Crew. We look forward to a fantastic season ahead!

Sincerely,

Keri Cupples
W-L Crew Boosters President
2025-2026
