Fall Season Concludes with Orange & Black Regatta
November 17, 2018 | Men's Rowing
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State rowing programs put the finishing touch on the fall schedule with the annual Orange and Black Regatta on the Willamette River at the OSU Boathouse Saturday morning.
A couple hundred alums, friends and family lined the east bank of the Willamette to cheer the Beavers to the finish at the OSU dock. The fans were treated to a "chaotic" race day as OSU men's rowing coach Gabe Winkler called it.
"It got a little wet and a little wild out there but it was a good time all around," senior men's rowing captain Hunter Smith said.
The teams divided up into two squads – orange and black – with crews from the Team Orange claiming victory over Team Black team.
"What a fantastic day for this event. The weather was perfect and we had countless alums, family and friends here to enjoy the event with us," Winkler said. "It was a great showing by the Oregon State rowing community."
"This was a really good team building day," OSU women's rowing head coach Kate Maxim said. "It was a great way to build a bond between the men's team and the women's, between alumni and families. It was just a good Oregon State spirit day and a nice homecoming of sorts for our rowing program."
The event closed with former Oregon State rower and Olympian Robert Zagunis dedicating the trophy room at the OSU Boathouse as the Woodman Room in honor of former OSU rower and coach Tom Woodman.
The men's and women's programs are now idle until the spring. The men's team kicks off its spring season at the Lake Las Vegas Invitational March 2-3. The women's rowers open their season on March 9 against Stanford at Redwood Shores, Calif.
