Michigan State men’s rowing club creating its own way, on and off the water

Mike Epps

EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State men’s rowing club practices hard, tucked away from most people in the early-morning mists of the Grand River.

The team, which was founded in 1957, is a student-run club with a full-time coaching staff.

We checked in on the team, to see what it’s like to row for MSU, and what brings its members to work so hard on their own.
