Sunrise workouts along the Licking River give the University
of Cincinnati's rowing team a chance to synchronize their stroke. The
women's team completed their fourth season as a varsity squad this year.
Both the men's and women's crew teams started as club sports more than
20 years ago. The women's club team won a national championship in 1994
and even turned out an Olympic rower, Kelly Salchow, in 2000 and 2004.
Construction is set to begin soon on a boathouse planned for the banks
of the Licking, an Ohio-River tributary in Wilder, Ky. Athletics is raising
funds for the $4 million facility as part of Varsity Village. Rowing's
18,000-square-foot home will include five boat bays, offices, locker rooms
and a multi-purpose room.
