Update from Head Rowing Coach Steve Kish -- September 2023
Greetings from the Susquehanna River,
Â
Classes and practices began on Aug. 21, and the group is excited to be back together and on the water.
Â
For the second year in a row, Head Novice Coach Kelly Harris has 45 newcomers on the water at the end of the second week of the Learn-To-Row class. What is heartwarming and unique about the program is that three members of the novice rowers are daughters of women who rowed as novices at Bucknell just over 30 years ago!
Â
As importantly, we will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the rowing programs on Sept. 30. All alumni are invited; you can read more about the event and register here. Below is the list of who has confirmed they will be returning for the festivities. We hope many more of you will consider visiting Lewisburg to reconnect with BUWR and even take a few strokes on the river!
Â
-- Steve
