Crew

Who We Are
Binghamton crew is the student-run rowing club that operates under the auspices of Club Sports at Binghamton University. Six days a week we wake up at 5am and practice on the Susquehanna River near Owego, NY. Although our racing seasons are in the Fall and the Spring, our training doesn’t skip a beat during the Winter. We practice in the erg room and the racquetball courts during our off-season. Even though we’re not a Division 1 sport, but we practice just as hard. Thanks to our coaches Dr. Bob Emerson, Bill Butler ’99, Andrew Davis ’10, Anna Dmitriev, Esq. ’04, and Bryan Kallen ’10, our hard work is not without success. Every season our boats face D1 crews who recruit their own rowers, and we succeed. Our accomplishments on the water transcend to success here at the University. We’re the recipient of many XCELsior awards including two-time Outstanding Student Organization of the Year and three-time Fundraising Effort of the Year. Our biggest fundraiser, John J. McKenna IV Memorial 5K, is one of the biggest student-run, off campus events. Beyond our involvement in crew, our rowers still find time to be RAs, TAs, double-majors (even a few triple-majors), student ambassadors, tutors, volunteers, and active members of this community.

Where We Meet
During the water season, we meet Monday-Friday at 5:30AM, and Saturday at 8AM @ Mohawk. From there we pile into cars and venture off to the Les Wagner Rowing Center in Owego NY. Our great partnership with Hiawatha Island Boathouse Club allows us to utilize this wonderful facility and we are grateful to them for it.

For Winter training, the 4 squads alternate practices in the erg room and the racquetball courts - both of which are located in the West Gym. You can also find us running 15 flights of stairs in the Library tower or on the 'brain' around campus when it's not too icy to run.
