History of Dartmouth Rowing
Rowing is presently the most popular sport at Dartmouth, with over 200 students pulling an oar every year. It is also the oldest sport at Dartmouth and began in 1833 when the first oarsmen rowed their six-man shells out of an ice house on Lake Mascoma. The crews moved to the Connecticut River on campus in 1937, and lightweights were added to the program in the 1940's. Peter Gardner coached the crews here from 1957 to 1988 and brought Dartmouth Crew to the level it maintains today. His crowning achievement was the construction of The Friends of Dartmouth Rowing Boathouse in 1986. Dartmouth Crew has a reputation for leadership both on and off the water. In recent years, more than 30 Dartmouth rowers have represented the United States in international competition, including Pan American and World Championship Gold Medalists in 1999. Further, Dartmouth alumni have been racing with the national team as recently as this past summer. Within our league, we have medaled at the Eastern Sprints as recently at 2003 when our varsity came in Bronze.
