Spartan rowing dedicated three brand-new shells for the 2023 campaign. The Olivia Long '23 makes its B1G Championship debut this weekend for the varsity eight. The boat was dedicated last fall in memory of Long, who passed away from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident prior to her junior campaign. Two brand-new varsity four shells were dedicated in November: the Molon Labe (dedicated by the Class of 2024), is the shell for the varsity four, and the Grand Legacy, (dedicated by the Class of 2004), is the boat for the second varsity four.
