The 1965 Rowing team was co-founded by Mark Pisano '65 and Charlie Wynn '65 and was the first to row for the Santa Clara Broncos. They were nicknamed the Founders Club Eight and earned a league title in their inaugural season. Santa Clara Rowing Programs owe their elite legacy to this team as they trail blazed a path for multiple Santa Clara rowers to follow. Individual Hall of Fame inductee James Farwell '66 became the head coach of both SCU men's and women's rowing teams for more than 20 years from 1965-85.
