The UMass Rowing program is incredibly proud of our 2026 Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championship season. This remarkable achievement was the result of the hard work, discipline, and commitment our student-athletes demonstrated every single day throughout the year.

Our team made history by capturing UMass' first conference championship since 2017 and the 17th conference title in program history. On championship day, the Minutewomen swept all five races—including the Varsity 8, Second Varsity 8, Varsity 4, Third Varsity 8, and Second Varsity 4—to earn the MAC Championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships.

To commemorate this historic season, we are raising funds to provide each member of our championship team with a 2026 MAC Championship Ring—a lasting symbol of their dedication, teamwork, and unforgettable accomplishment. Each championship ring costs $250, and every contribution helps ensure our student-athletes receive a keepsake they will treasure for years to come.

These rings represent far more than a championship. They honor the early mornings, countless hours of training, perseverance through every challenge, and the bonds forged throughout a season that will forever be part of UMass Rowing history.

No gift is too small. Every donation makes a difference and brings us one step closer to recognizing these remarkable student-athletes for their historic achievement.

Thank you for supporting UMass Rowing and for helping us celebrate our 2026 MAC Champions!
