Ollie Bogen rows in the "Ollie Bogen"

Today, one of the founders of the University of Minnesota Men's Crew program, Ollie Bogen, came down to the U and rowed in the shell named after him.  He was joined by 8 other alumni in the boat, including recent alumni Jake Traxler, Abigail Evans, and Michael Srienc, as well as alumni from many more years past.  The Pioneer Press came down to the boathouse to watch history unfold today, and we are even featured on their website.  It was an incredible day, full of rowers reconnecting and Ollie's stories from the beginning of the program.
