Preamble
There is a long, positive history of collegiate and club related rowing regattas in the City of Madison that have been held annually on Lake Wingra. The regattas were previously supported and promoted in part by the West Madison Lions Club, and the Wingra Rowing Regatta, Inc. Historically the participants in the rowing regattas included UW Madison Women and Men’s rowing teams, other prestigious, collegiate rowing teams and club affiliated rowing teams including the Mendota Rowing Club and Camp Randall Rowing Club of Madison. Unfortunately the University of Wisconsin Athletic Department has decided to end its participation in the Midwest Rowing Championships.
This year’s event will be hosted by the Camp Randall Rowing Club, Inc., entitled the Wingra Sprints and will be held on April 26, 2008. The event will offer Madison residents an exciting opportunity to view and support the race series.
