University of Washington crew teams will continue a tradition that dates to 1901 and legendary coach Hiram Conibear when they compete in the Class Day Regatta on Saturday in the Montlake Cut.
Class boats are made up of the best eight within each academic class, reflecting what the coaches call a special part of the crew experience.
“You go through Washington rowing as both an individual and as a class,” said men’s coach Michael Callahan.
On his squad, the seniors will be looking to defend the Class Day title they won last year as juniors. The seniors have 38 victories on Class Day, which is part of a weekend full of crew festivities.
