History

The first crew team is thought to have set out on Lake Mendota in 1874 though the only evidence of this is a letter written in 1912 by a Wisconsin alumnus. By 1878 rowing had become an intramural sport at the University. The first National Championship won by Wisconsin was in 1900 by the Men's Freshman Eight team. The Wisconsin Crew team has won 48 Intercollegiate Rowing Association titles since then.

The Men's Varsity Eight won their first National Championship title in 1951, the first of seven such titles. The most recent came in 1990. This win brought an invite to the Henley Royal Regatta, the fouth visit for Wisconsin.

Location

The Wisconsin Crew team's boathouse is located on Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin. The boathouse that was built in 1968 was recently demolished to make way for a new building. The new boathouse is currently under construction and is estimated to be finished by Fall 2004.
