On top of fundraising for March of Dimes this year, Ohio State Crew also started a team for Jog For Jill, an event that raises funds to find a cure for Lung Cancer in memory of Jill Costello (a Cal coxswain). The team fund raised $1,180 for Jog For Jill which put them in the top 3 teams in terms of fundraising. Ohio State Crew is proud to support and give back to the community in any way it can. Go Bucks!

Another winter training is on the books, and the team pulled out a strong finish at MCES again this year. We swept the medals in the Men’s Open Lightweight Novice, Women’s Open Lightweight Novice, and Women’s Open Novice, took home a silver and bronze in the Men’s Open Novice, and captured a bronze in the Women’s Open. Everyone came to win and showcased the vast improvements made this winter.
The team leaves for spring break next weekend. Time to put that speed on the water!
