Inside NU usually does not cover the exploits of club sports, but Northwestern’s club rowing program deserves some recognition after a momentous weekend.
For the first time in nearly a decade, NU Crew competed at the Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR) in Boston, Massachusetts, one of the most prestigious events in the rowing world, this past weekend.
The ‘Cats entered crews into two events: the Men’s Club 4+, coxed by senior Lillian Chu and featuring stroke to bow senior Jackson Lifford, senior Alexander Jimenez, junior Josh Maher, and freshman Valentin de la Pena, and the Women’s Collegiate 4+, coxed by senior Lucah Ueno and featuring stroke to bow junior Andrea Hancock, freshman Lila Caminiti, senior Abby Ekstrand, and senior Sarah Pickles.
