It’s six o’clock in the morning and the sun is just rising in the east, casting beautiful colors across the already-gorgeous Chicago skyline. In a rowing boat on the Chicago River sit eight dedicated DePaul students, one of the many club sport teams DePaul has to offer its students: the rowing team.
DePaul now offers both men’s and women’s rowing teams. Five to six times a week the students that make up the DePaul rowing team, more commonly known as crew, are out on the Chicago River working together to become better as a team.
Sophomore Jens Ericson is now in his second year with the team.
