POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist men's and women's rowing teams held an alumni event Saturday afternoon on the Hudson River at the historic Cornell Boathouse.

"The rowing alumni are an important part of our thriving team culture at Marist and we were excited to have the opportunity to share in recognizing them and the team this weekend. The event gave alumni an opportunity to celebrate their past accomplishments as well as get a glimpse of our current program. Stories and experiences shared between these groups make us stronger as a crew and we look forward to continuing with this annual event in the future"- Campbell Woods, Men's Rowing Coach
