Rowing
Overview
Wyoming Seminary Rowing is one of the school’s fastest-growing athletic programs. Founded as a club in 2016 and elevated to varsity status in 2018, Sem Rowing offers student-athletes the opportunity to participate in one of the nation’s oldest and most dynamic interscholastic sports. It remains the only scholastic rowing team within a 60-mile radius of campus.
Rowing at Sem is a year-round, three-season sport. The team trains and competes in the fall, winter, and spring, building technical proficiency, fitness, and team culture across all phases. During the spring sprint season, Sem competes in the Philadelphia Scholastic Rowing Association (PSRA), culminating in the PSRA City Championships. Select crews go on to race at the USRowing Mid-Atlantic Championships and the Stotesbury Cup Regatta—the largest scholastic regatta in the world.
Sem’s program has been primarily sculling-focused, offering strong foundational training in singles, doubles, and quads. As the team continues to grow, sweep rowing is being added to support a broader competitive structure and be able to compete against other Prep Schools more competitively.
In the fall, the team trains and races in head-style regattas and works in partnership with Harveys Lake Rowing Club (HLRC). The winter season is focused on strength and ergometer training, preparing rowers for competitive sprint racing in the spring.
No prior experience is required—Wyoming Seminary Rowing welcomes students of all athletic backgrounds. Athletes benefit not only from high-level coaching and competition, but from the opportunity to train and race in scenic and historic locations across the East Coast.
