CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State rowing will celebrate the launch of the 2023 spring racing season on Saturday, February 25 with the annual CRASH Beavs and Spring Launch Dinner.
Registration for both events is available here.
All alumni, families and fans are invited to gather for a day full of rowing that features current student-athletes and honors the history of both programs.
The day will begin with the CRASH Beavs erg competition at Truax Indoor Center where athletes will compete in a 2K erg race over a series of heats. Fans will have a great opportunity to come cheer on the Beavs and get a look at how hard the athletes have been working in anticipation of spring racing season.
