Rowing is one of the few collegiate sports where athletes practice year round and compete during both spring and fall.

In addition many athletes train at various rowing clubs around the country during the summer.

Famous quotes containing the word year:
“Material advancement has its share in moral and intellectual progress. Becky Sharp’s acute remark that it is not difficult to be virtuous on ten thousand a year has its applications to nations; and it is futile to expect a hungry and squalid population to be anything but violent and gross.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
