MSOE Rowing Results from Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta 2013

MSOE traveled to Philadelphia to race in the 2013 Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta on Schuylkill River.  The 2013 Regatta hosted 128 schools, which made it the largest regatta in North America.  

The Dad Vail Regatta is named after Harry Emerson “Dad” Vail. He coached at the University of Wisconsin between 1911 and the late 1920’s. His crews competed against great odds since there was little interest in the sport and little rowing took place in Wisconsin. Crew candidates often went out for other sports.  However, today rowing remains a truly traditional sport that attracts all types of athletes.
