Xavier University Announces Rowing as Official Varsity Sport for Men and Women, Fall 2025
The pioneering Xavier University of Louisiana Rowing Club, launched in September 2023, has expanded over the past 16 months, driven by the student-athletes’ enthusiastic participation in practices, travel training sessions, indoor and intramural regattas, and advocacy for the club and sport in their community. Now, with the support of the university, rowing will become an official varsity sport in fall 2025. This marks a major step in equality and access in the long history of the sport.

Honoring Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month
My name is Tammara Quevedo and I am a senior studying Kinesiology and Disability Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am a current varsity member for the Illinois Rowing Team. I started rowing my freshman year of college and I have fallen in love with the sport ever since. In celebration of Latinx and Hispanic Heritage month, I am honored to have JL Racing invite me to the conversation about what it is like to be a Latina in the rowing community and celebrate my culture.
