Clemson’s varsity rowers will compete in the Women’s Club 4+, the Women’s Championship 4+, the Women’s Club 8+ and the Women’s Championship 8+ races.

Most recently, Clemson rowing’s varsity 8+ boat competed in the 38th-annual Head of the Charles in Boston, MA. The Tigers posted a time of 17:48.8 to finish 27th out of 46 teams.

The Tigers will conclude the fall season on November 10 when they travel to Charlottesville, VA to compete in the Rivanna Romp.
