This weekend, the rowing teams celebrated the 150th anniversary of rowing at Cornell. Saturday’s festivities featured the annual Schwartz Cup, the singing of the Cornell Crew Song and visiting with rowing alumni and supporters. The men’s lightweight, men’s heavyweight and women’s teams divided their ranks by class year for a friendly competition within Cornell’s ranks. “The Cornell Crew Song was developed in the late 1800’s as tradition to celebrate and honor the beauty and decisions we make as rowers every day,” Kerber wrote in an email to The Sun. “It was very special to see that they still knew it.”Shortly after the singing of the Cornell crew song, athletes, coaches and alumni gathered to share Cornell rowing stories.
