On the weekend of November 9th, 2012, Clemson Crew competed in the Head of the South regatta on the Savannah River. The team performed very well, taking home several medals. The varsity men's heavy 8+ took gold, while the light weight men's 8+ took silver. On the women's side, the crew took home a gold in the 8+, as well as a silver and bronze in the 4+. The team also swept the board in the mixed 4+ event, taking home gold, silver, and bronze. The crew also took home the points trophy for the regatta.

On the weekend of October 27, 2012, the Clemson University Rowing Association sent a light weight mens 4+ to Philadelphia to compete in the Head of the Schuylkill regatta. The rowers raced the 4 kilometer race  in the open mens event. Amongst 41 boats, they placed 11th. Congratulations to the light weight men on this great success!

Congratulations to the CURA women's 4+ on taking 3rd at the Head of the Charles, the largest head race in the world. On October 20th the girls pulled an impressive 19:21.47 for the bronze metal, finishing only 7 seconds behind first place. Clemson Crew is proud to call team President Sydna, rowers Leigh, Emily, and Alli, and coxswain Greg their own. Congratulations again!

On Saturday, September 29th, the Clemson University Rowing Association was host to the second annual Tail of the Tiger regatta. The event was successful on all ends. Varsity placed well in many events, while several novice received their first rowing metals of the semester. Congratulations to the team's vice president, Steve Schofield, for putting the event together. The Crew would also like to thank all those who came out to participate in the regatta, as well as the coaches, officials, parents, and volunteers who made it possible.

The Clemson University Rowing Association would like to thank the following contributors for their donations. Their generosity will help the team make great strides in the coming seasons.

Thank you once again.

1 February, 2012 In October of 2008, Clemson Crew established The Clemson University Rowing Association Endowment with a pledge goal of $25,000. The endowment was initially set-up to provide long-term monetary support for our team.  We were given 5 years by the Clemson University Foundation to reach our goal.  We are pleased to announce that by the generosity of our donors, we have exceeded that goal and now have a commendable balance of $31,000.  As the balance of the Endowment continues to increase, the amount of funds we receive from the University will also continue to increase, making it a terrific incentive to continue supporting the future rowers of Clemson. For those who have made contributions in the past, we would like to sincerely thank-you; your generous support is greatly appreciated!
