Niki Van Sprang Celebrates in the Cal Varsity Eight
With enormous funding derived from high revenue college sports such as Basketball, Football and Baseball, US Varsity rowing programs are the envy of the student rowing world. Million dollar endowments, six figure salaried coaches and international recruits all add up to a world class field competing for one title; IRA National Champion. From the Head of the Charles to Henley, winning here matters most.
In the land where bigger is better, the eight rules. The winner of the Varsity Eight, the jewel in the crown of every major US college rowing program, takes all the marbles.
