Auburn rows crew. Who knew?
In 1996 Auburn Crew was a club team with only a five year history. Already they'd beaten Alabama in their first meeting. They beat 10 other teams in the largest regatta in the nation.
They won the World Championship Rowing Marathon in Los Angeles.
New boats cost $10,000, but this team did it all as students and were beating teams a lot more well established. And they had to drive half an hour to make it to the water. Maybe they were just good because no one had told them any differently.
