PHILADELPHIA - The Women's Rowing team invites walk-on athletes to try out for its 2008-09 season. No Experience Necessary!! A large percentage of the team is comprised of athletes who have never taken a stroke prior to college. This fall, we will teach you the technique involved in our sport, and increase your strength and endurance to prepare you to compete. We are looking for individuals with a desire to learn, the determination to push themselves beyond perceived limits, and the willingness to give 100% to meet the goals of the team. You will challenge yourself, work harder than ever, AND have fun doing it.
