Hall of Fame

The team recorded its best-ever Western Sprints (West Coast Championship) performance on the University of Washington's home course on Lake Washington, finishing second among American west coast crews. The Lions finished 10th in the Intercollegiate Rowing Regatta – IRA - (the equivalent of the Intercollegiate National Rowing Championships).
The Members of the 1971 Men's Crew Team are Jerry Amalfitano, Larry Conley, John Haluck, Mike Mazzei, Larry McCutheon, Steven Nowinski, Mike O'Donnell, Mel Otero, Tom Petrich, and Coach John Lind.
