86th Annual Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta Program Book

National Open Intercollegiate Sculling Championships To be held within Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta The Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee, host of the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta, is always looking for innovative ways to enhance its event and promote the growth of rowing. This year the organizing committee is pleased to announce the National Open Intercollegiate Sculling Championship will be held within this year’s 2025 Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta in conjunction with the sculling events. Sculling (two oars per person) is an emerging intercollegiate rowing category that has increased in popularity over the past five years whereas sweep rowing (one oar per person) has been the traditional form of intercollegiate competition. The Dad Vail Regatta National Open Intercollegiate Sculling Championship is an open event in which Club, D1, DII and DIII categories compete against each other. National champions will be crowned in the Single, Double and Quad events and the top three finishers in each category will receive medals. Also, a combined overall championship trophy will be presented to the top men’s team and the top women’s team based on cumulative points for each of the three sculling events (single, double and quad). “The Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta is excited to add a National Sculling Championship to our event,” said Dad Vail Organizing Committee President Kirsten Morasco. “Sculling is central to the future of competitive rowing, and we are championing this initiative because the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta wants to provide opportunities to our athletes and position them for success at the highest levels of the sport.”
