PENNSAUKEN, N.J. - A total of six Temple University men's crew boats will participate in the 86th Annual Dad Vail Regatta on the Cooper River this weekend. Racing begins with time trials on Friday, May 9, with the majority of finals set for Saturday.

ABOUT THE OWLS

A total of three Temple crews enter the event with national rankings, including the second varsity eight at No. 15 in the country.
The 2V, stroked by sophomore Ryan Spellman, helped the Owls to a victory over La Salle, Drexel, and Saint Joseph's at the Bergen Cup Regatta on April 26.
The varsity eight, ranked 16th in the nation in the latest IRA/IRCA Top 25 Poll, won the Bergen Cup by besting No. 17 La Salle by 3.5 seconds.
Temple also defeated No. 21 Drexel and No. 25 Saint Joseph's, and will see all three schools at Dad Vails this weekend.
The third and final ranked Temple boat is the third varsity eight, ranked No. 21 nationally.

ABOUT THE DAD VAIL REGATTA

The largest collegiate regatta in the United States, the Dad Vail Regatta welcomes over 100 teams each year from the United States and Canada.
Previously held along the Schuylkill River, the event was shifted to the Cooper River in 2023.
The event began in 1934, with Marietta College winning the men's varsity eight race.
Temple first tasted victory in 1983, and won five straight titles in the V8 from 1983-88.
Beginning in 1989, the Owls began an unprecedented streak of 13 straight men's varsity eight victories.
All told, Temple has a regatta-best 22 V8 championships and the University has won the Bratten Trophy - awarded to the team with the most total points - three times (1994, 1996, 2023).
