These rowers (and coxswains) are either currently on their college team, have competed on their college team and/or have graduated, or have committed to row for their college team in the upcoming year.
# denotes that the college team is a club sport, does not operate under the university Athletic Director and is not governed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association or the Intercollegiate Rowing Association.
