Twenty-five years ago, the Temple men's crew team had long established itself as the dominant squad on the Schuylkill. The history of the Owls' men program started in 1966, and soon after, unbeaten seasons, countless Bergen Cup and Dad Vail titles followed. By 1994, the men were in the midst of a Dad Vail record winning streak.

Established as an intercollegiate sport at Temple in 1988, the women's team had just six seasons as a varsity crew under its belt in 1994.
