The Boys in the Temple Boat
If you love rowing, then you have heard of and probably read, The Boys in the Boat, Daniel James Brown's award-winning nonfiction book on the University of Washington's 1936 crew and its quest for Olympic Gold.
The book tells the tale of how the Huskies' boat became so successful and the individual stories of the nine young men who made up that historic eight.
Fans following Temple Crew and its season know that the Owls have made history of their own in 2021. The Varsity Eight is currently undefeated heading into the IRA National Championships. The team has been ranked as high as eighth nationally during the season and currently sits at 12th in the polls.
