To maintain its winning record from year to year, the Harvard and Radcliffe rowing programs need more than its extensive facilities and good coaching. They need a steady supply of rowers.
Of course, the coaches benefit from the enthusiasm veteran scholastic rowers have for both Harvard and Radcliffe programs.
Juliet Thompson '89 rowed on the varsity for four years at St. Paul's, and plans to row with the Radcliffe crew this spring. The Radcliffe program's reputation was a factor in her decision to come to Cambridge.
