SEATTLE – A busy stretch of the Huskies' rowing season gets started this Saturday as the UW men and women host the Husky Open. Racing on Montlake Cut begins at 8:00 a.m. on March 30.
The Husky Open features a long schedule of juniors and masters races to go along with the college events, which primarily feature crews from colleges around the Northwest, including NCAA Division II and Division III programs.

10:18 a.m. – UW Women's Collegiate 8+ Montlake Sprint
One new feature of this Saturday's regatta is that both the men and women will race their top two boats in a sprint race, going from west to east, from the finish line to the totem pole that marks the entrance to the Montlake Cut on the Lake Washington side, a distance of approximately 600 meters.
The UW hopes to bring this version of sprint racing to the Montlake Cut, most notably the night before the Windermere Cup/Opening Day regatta – where the finish line in front of the ASUW Canoe House would also be the site of the Party on the Cut.
"Rowing is always looking for new ways to entertain and attract youth into the sport," UW head coach Michael Callahan explained. "In the Montlake Cut, we have a perfect venue for a sprint race, and as a program, we've always been interested in innovation."
"For competitors and for fans, sprint racing in the Montlake Cut is truly rowing in a stadium," women's head coach Yasmin Farooq added. "It's explosive, high-powered racing at rates that are unsustainable over a longer distance, so that makes it a real spectacle."

About Washington Rowing
Rowing at University of Washington was established in 1901 with support from the local business community. In 1903, Washington entered its first intercollegiate race and defeated California, starting their storied "Cal Dual" rivalry. From this beginning, UW crews became the champions in the nation, winning the Gold Medal in the Olympics in 1936 as described in the New York Times bestseller The Boys in the Boat. UW has continued its tradition of winning championships and Olympic medals, and today is one of the best university rowing programs in the world. With its state-of-the-art training facility located on the UW campus right on the shores of Lake Washington, surrounded by mountains and in close proximity to the iconic Montlake Cut, Washington Rowing attracts the best men and women student-athletes from the Pacific Northwest and around the world.
