California Lightweight Rowing is a club team formed in the 1970s to give athletes of all sizes a chance at the sport. Today, we are the only team in the western United States dedicated to both men's and women's lightweight rowing. As a club team, we raise most of our funds ourselves, with dedicated support from our families and alumni, while trying to make the sport as affordable as possible for our student athletes. Despite this, members often times end up paying out of pocket for major championships such as San Diego Crew Classic, WIRAs (Western Championships), and ACRAs (Club Nationals) while bearing the weight of being a full time student. The Cal Lightweight Rowing Crew has a history of taking on challenge and fostering camaraderie. We want to keep giving our athletes the amazing experience of becoming a part of a team, and pushing themselves to accomplish great things.
Men's LWT 4+ Rowing into First Place at the President's Cup
To do that, we are raising $2000 to keep on full-time Head Coach Khoua Moua, as he has been instrumental in keeping the team thriving. The money will also be used to get the team ready to go back on the water next fall! We hope to be getting back into the competitive scene with regattas and to row as a team once again.
