Men's Varsity Crew: Technically speaking, four different programs within the one team.
Competes in the annual *[[SchnellstiegenMen's Varsity Crew]] against the *[[Nordic Ski TeamWomen's Varsity Crew]] and and *[[Alpine Ski TeamMen's Novice Crew]]. Varsity is coached by Peter S. Wells *[[Women'79, former nordic skiier, cycling enthusiast, and easily the greatest rower in Williams history. Has produced a number of national team members, including Mark Cullen '90 and G. Lindsay Brown '86 (Seoul Olympics,1988), current head coach of St. Andrews School s Novice Crew, a program which disproportionately feeds Williams Crew just as the larger school disproportionately feeds the college. Recruited freshmen typically walk onto varsity, which is atypical even at the Division III level. Divisions mean nothing; men's crew races Harvard and European National teams in the fall and MIT and Holy Cross in the spring. Like all men's collegiate rowing, not goverened by the NCAA.  Varsity men have won Little Three's the past six years, making the owners of the [[Saratoga Oar]] and defenders of the longest winning string in (the admittedly brief) Little Three rowing history.
