 ====== Rowing (Crew) ======
-Rowing's origins at Trinity began in 1856 with the "Minnehaha Club," also the first-ever sports club at Trinity, following the popular trend of boating clubs in Hartford. The club first competed with groups in Hartford, but by 1858 was set to compete with other college teams in a regatta held in Springfield, Massachusetts. Days before the regatta, a member of the Yale crew team drowned while practicing, causing the race to be postponed and eventually abandoned. Although crew continued to develop at Trinity in the years following--adopting uniforms and adding more boats--crew's popularity dwindled and would not be revived again until the 1960s.
