Biographical/Historical Note
Gary Stockman, Rob Kallman, and Gary Bradhering, all members of the Class of 1983, started petitioning for a rowing team in 1981. George M. Angle, avid rower and former vice president of public affairs at the University of Rochester, helped mentor, advise, and raise funds for a program. With the support of Angle and others--including Richard U. and Elaine P. Wilson, and Allen Rosenburg, a former Olympic rowing coach--the three students raised enough money and recruited enough students to make rowing a sport at the University. The first coach of the team was Tom Welch, who continued to grow the team and lead it to more regattas.

Angle also co-founded the Bausch and Lomb Invitational Regatta in 1989, which was organized jointly by Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester. Its name changed in 1996 to the Stonehurst Capital Invitational Regatta and in 2006 to the Head of the Genesee Regatta. In 2007, the Genesee Waterways Center took over its management.

Rowing Team alumni, including Stockman, established Friends of UR Rowing (formerly Friends of UR Crew) with help from Angle in the early 1980s. The group fundraises for the team, recruits new players, and connects alumni and current players.
