The Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee, host of the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta, is pleased to announce the National Open Intercollegiate Sculling Championships 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. Sweep rowing (one oar per person) has been the traditional form of intercollegiate competition.
National champions will be crowned in the Single, Double and Quad 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 the single, double and quad.
The Sculling Championships are open events in which Club, D1, DII and DIII categories compete against each other. For a complete schedule that gets posted three days prior to the event, please visit www.dadvail.org.
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.
Celebrating its 86th anniversary, the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta will be staged on the Cooper River, in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey on Friday, May 9 and Saturday, May 10.
