Huskies crew preparing for appearance in Henley Royal Regatta
Washington crew coming off its fifth consecutive national title
There will be no slowing down, probably both literally and figuratively, for the Washington men’s crew as it prepares for the Henley Royal Regatta.
The Huskies, who won their fifth consecutive IRA national championship earlier this month, are in full preparation for the Royal Regatta in Oxfordshire, England on July 1-5.
“This is really the Wimbledon of rowing,” said UW coach Michael Callahan. “This is one of the most well-respected regattas in the world. Every rower has this on his bucket list. Just to have the chance to compete at Henley is really special, and to win is a lifetime achievement.”
