(July 1st) - The Mid-Atlantic Rowing Conference welcomes three new member schools for the 2018-19 academic year - Adrian College, Catholic University, and Ohio Wesleyan University. All three schools are offering rowing at the varsity level for the first time. Adrian and Catholic are sponsoring programs on both the men's and women's sides of the conference, while Ohio Wesleyan will be offering a women's varsity program. With 12 competing institutions on the women's side stretching from Rhode Island to Illinois to Virginia, the MARC is the largest conference in Division III women's rowing, both in number of schools and in geographic area.
