Illini Rowing

Illini Rowing is a club college rowing program that represents the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. Both the men and women's teams that make up the program are members of the American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA) in the Great Lakes Region.^[1] The program operates as a Registered Student Organization (RSO) at the University of Illinois. ^{[2] [3]} The University does not currently have a NCAA varsity team and the club program is the highest level of competitive rowing offered by the University. As of 2014, the program has attained two ACRA national titles for their wins in the Women's Novice Four event in both 2012 and 2014 at the ACRA National Championships. ^{[4] [5]} The Illini Rowing Men's crew has captured the team's only state champion titles, winning in both 2013 and 2014. The Women's team has fallen painfully short each year, losing to the University of Chicago both years. ^[6]
