Ed Corr, center, the president of the West Side Rowing Club, is opening the
doors of the club for SUNY Buffalo State. The college will be paddling its way back to rowing for the
first time since 1974, under the guidance of coach Mike Cute, left. Willow Greene,
Buffalo State rowing club president, has been working closely with West Side Rowing to get students on the water. She believes that Buffalo State will feel
at home. “West Side fosters an awesome tight-knit community of rowers,” Greene
said. “Buffalo State is an awesome tight-knit community of students so it just
makes sense to me that we would put those two together.” Despite not being on
the water this semester, the club has 25 committed rowers, with many others
interested. The rowing club is expected to be on the water this upcoming
spring. By Zachary Memmott and Khalid Terrell
