This winter, Husky men's crew coach Michael Callahan traveled to Victoria, B.C., to catch up a group of Canadian-born Huskies who are looking to row at the 2012 London Olympics.
More positive press for the Washington men's crew team rolled in as USRowing put a spotlight on the program and its success this year at the IRA, U-23 World Championship and Pan-Am Games.
The Huskies dominance at the IRA Championships last June was one of the more impressive feats in the history of collegiate rowing. Their moment was recently honored by the Rowing News in its "Best of 2011" feature.
The Seattle Sports Commission nominated Jenn Salling, Chris Polk, Chris Williams, Isaiah Thomas and the UW Men's Rowing team in various categories for the 77th Annual Sports Star of the Year, presented by Root Sports.
