INVEST IN EXCELLENCE

Picture
The MSU Crew Club has made great strides in the past few years and is currently displaying a level of talent and competitiveness not seen since 2013 when the team brought home a silver medal from the Dad Vail Regatta.  Through their hard-fought pieces in the fall racing season and in practice, the club's athletes have shown that talent runs through every boat, and the strength of the novice class shows a depth which will last for years. 

The club's current position is no accident, but is due to huge investments of time, effort, and resources in the pursuit of excellence in the sport of rowing.  It is the result of:
  • Investment in Recruiting by the whole club which has attracted and retained incredibly talented athletes
  • Investment in Planning by the coaching staff who have created a viable road map to the team’s success
  • Investment in Training by the athletes who have transformed themselves into  fierce competitors
​
​This pursuit of excellence also requires an Investment in Equipment. In order to continue its trajectory toward excellence, the MSU Crew Club is now looking to invest $34,000 in a new rowing shell from King Racing Shells to ensure that the club’s athletes have access to the best possible tools for their success. As  the championship race season approaches, the athletes of the MSU Crew Club are hoping to have access to equipment which will allow them to reap the benefits of the significant investments already made toward their success.

​By contributing to the MSU Crew Club Invest in Excellence campaign you will not only be investing in new equipment to ensure the future success of the club, you will also be recognizing and celebrating the investments already made by the athletes, the coaches, and the club as a whole toward their pursuit of excellence.
