Rumson hosted the 9th Annual Collegiate Rowing Regatta on the Navesink River on Saturday, September 22, 2018. Five colleges participated in the eight person crew race: West Point, Coast Guard, Drexel, Villanova, and Rutgers. Mayor Joseph Hemphill had the honor of presenting the winning trophy to Drexel University who placed first in four competitive races. The four races included men’s and women’s varsity, and mens and women’s junior varsity.
Rumson is the only other town, other than Henley England, to host the coaches and athletes in local homes.
We want to thank all the sponsors and volunteers that made this event a great success.
