Four Year Oars

Not many athletes are able to dedicate four years of their lives to the UC Davis Women’s Rowing Team. To be a Four Year Oar, you must embody the values of the club in being relentless in your pursuit of excellence and your commitment to the team. These athletes’ legacies serve as an example to all who come through our boathouse of what our team strives to be.
