Audry- Unfortunately at this time FSU Rowing remains a club on both the men's and women's sides. However, the women will be (or are slated to be) full varsity status by the fall of 99. If you are enrolling at FSU in the upcoming fall semester, I encourage you to not let the "non-varsity" status hinder you from coming and joining the team. We are quite successful and produce many winning crews each year.
