The Sacramento State Men's Rowing Team is a collegiate sports club representing the Sacramento State University in rowing. The program is a club sport, not affiliated with the university athletic department and is governed by elected club officers. Started in 1984 by students with head coach Steve Gallant, the crew is a member of the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association (WIRA), whose participants are mostly non-Pac-10 schools on the West Coast.
As part of WIRA, the team has won multiple conference championships in the Varsity 8 and also had championship boats in several other events during the team's legacy. The members of the team throughout their history pride themselves on hard work, dedication, and commitment to the common goal of having a world class rowing program.
The team consists of male athletes and male or female coxswains. The team competes against schools such as Stanford, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, Gonzaga, and all other west coast institutions with rowing programs.
