Washington Rowing

Nanjing archives 📸

The Women of Washington won the 2026 Nanjing International Universities Rowing Open this weekend in Nanjing, China! 

Both the 4x500m relay and 2x1000m sprint titles were claimed by the WOW. 🌏💜

Competing internationally was incredible. Just as meaningful were the moments spent learning from other cultures and connecting with teams from around the world. Rowing once again proved to be a sport that brings communities together.

We are so grateful for our incredible hosts, organizers, and volunteers. Cheers to the next one ✨

It’s that time of year again! Come join us on Saturday, November 7th, for the 2026 Washington Rowing Alumni Tailgate, held before the UW vs. Penn State matchup. All Washington Rowing Alumni, Friends, and Family are welcome. Spread the word!
