Class Day 2008 - April 26th

Plans are underway now for the 2008 Class Day. Alumni, Rowers, Family, Friends - come and enjoy the day at Lakewood on beautiful Whatcom Lake.
Festivities will begin in at 9 a.m. at the WWU Boathouse on Lake Whatcom. For those interested, there will be an opportunity to get in one of the newer Vespoli 8's and throw down against this year's team. After the races, we'll head up to Raspberry Ridge Golf Course to participate in a 9-hole golf tournament. The format will be best ball. Included in the tournament will be a putting contest, long drive, and closest-to-the hole competition, with prizes for each event. AND YES! THERE WILL BE BOAT RACES ON THE COURSE! After golf, the competition will continue at the 19th hole, Bob's Burger and Brew for dinner and more fun.

Entrance fees for the tournament will cost $50 and will cover green fees, carts (as available) and refreshments on the course. Funds raised after covering the above costs will go directly to the WWU Men's Crew Alumni Endowment. Money's raised from the putting contest, mulligan tickets, and string for ball placement will go toward this year's team fund.

We currently have space for 24 people so sign up soon by RSVPing. Your space isn't confirmed until you have sent in your $50 entrance fee. Please address and send all checks to Cameron Moorehead at 19629 Military Rd S. SeaTac, WA 98188. If more people sign up and/or are interested, we will try and squeeze you in. So sign up soon. You can contact Cameron at cameron.moorehead@wwucrew.org

Class Day 2007 - April 14th

4.14.07Vikings Mens Crew would like to thank all former WWU Rowers and Coaches, and their families & Friends who made Class Day 07 such a big success. Alumni, family and friends gathered at the Lakewood Facility on Lake Whatcom to celebrate another year of Men's Crew at Western. Festivities began at noon with alumni recruiting for the Alumni vs Varsity 1k (we're not sure who insisted on the shortened course). You can read more about the race in the news, but suffice it to say that when the dust settled, the alumni had the biggest smiles (once they caught their breath).

Cameron Moorehead spoke on behalf of the Alumni, describing the efforts to build a more active group - efforts that are starting to grow considering the turnout at Head of the Lake and Class Day. Working with the Western Foundation, they have established an endowment fund to build long term financial support for the team. He would be happy to hear from you at the address below.

Coach Marty thanked all participants, introduced the rest of the coaching staff - Coaches Josh and Andy. He briefly spoke about the season and thanked all for the ongoing support for the team. He also spoke about the naming of the shells in honor of long time coach Fil Leanderson and of the 99 four that medaled at IRA's.

All in all it was an enjoyable day, and the team looks forward to seeing everyone back for class day 2008.
