The SDSU Women's Crew is a nationally competitive, NCAA sanctioned, collegiate sport.

The sport begins training in the fall, with the bulk of competition taking place in the Spring semester. A potential student- athlete should be a full-time student at SDSU who is willing to work hard and learn. No previous rowing experience is necessary. Some rowing scholarships are still available for 2002-03. For additional information, contact the Women's Crew office at (619) 594-0759.
