ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Delaware Rowing has had a great fall season of practices and competitions as they warm up for the spring championship season ahead. The program had an outstanding first year in the MAC Conference, earning second place in the MAC Conference Championship last May. The program had podium finishes from the Varsity 8+ (3rd), Second Varsity 8+ (2nd), Varsity 4+ (2nd) and Second Varsity 4+ (2nd). The look forward to improving upon their performances this spring!

THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT 

Your support of Delaware Rowing ensures our rowing student-athletes have the resources they need to have an exceptional student-athlete experience and to achieve success in the classroom, on the water and in the community. Donations support nutrition services, sports medicine needs, equipment, leadership development, career readiness programming and more for these student-athletes.

Donor support helps fund key resources such as the EliteForm camera system and Hawkin Force Plates subscriptions. The EliteForm camera system is located in the weight room and measures how fast each athlete moves the bar on every rep. Strength coaches adjust each workout to the individual, and athletes can see their progress rep by rep. This data is complemented by the Hawkin Force Plates, which measure the force and power behind every jump. A quick jump test tells staff whether an athlete is fresh or fatigued. It also flags when one leg produces more force than the other and shows each athlete which parts of their training to focus on. Over time, it tracks their strength and power gains. These tools are incredibly useful in reducing the risk of injury.
