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.
