Founded in 1948 by Bob Hillen, USC Men’s Crew has always sought excellence. We produce rowers who persevere through obstacles and are ready to work for what they want. As a collegiate club team, we have long distance races in the Fall semester and the classic 2 kilometer race in the Spring. Our biggest Spring races are the San Diego Crew Classic, WIRA, PAC-12 and ACRA, but we have several smaller races every month with local teams. See you on the water!
