CCRL Takes PR

The Capital City Rowing League proudly completed its first trip to Puerto Rico, offering our student-athletes a powerful blend of cultural exposure, teamwork, and personal growth—both on and off the water.


Throughout the journey, students built confidence, strengthened bonds with their peers, and represented our community with pride while experiencing new environments and perspectives.


This milestone trip would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors, the trust and partnership of our families, and the continued encouragement of our broader community.


We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this unforgettable experience a reality.

Expansion News

A big step took place in December when the lights were turned on in the new parking lot!


The next phase of construction is scheduled to start in early February, weather permitting. The building will begin with subgrade utilities and then in April the walls will begin to go up.


We extend our sincere thanks to all of our sponsors and supporters whose generosity and belief in this project have made this next step possible.

There is still time to contribute to the project to make it successful. If you would like to make a contribution in support of the project, please contact Kris Grudt. There are still naming opportunities available.
