Wolfson College Boat Club (Oxford)

Wolfson College Boat Club is rowing club for the members of both Wolfson College, Oxford and St Cross College, Oxford. The club has competed since 1969 and takes part in the collegiate competitions Torpids and Summer Eights. Due to the membership being drawn from graduate colleges, the club races actively during the vacation periods at external races. Both squads also participate in the annual head races in London on the tideway.

The Club
Wolfson Boat Club shares the University College Boathouse with Somerville, St Peter's, and Univ. This is a new building, constructed in 2007. It is situated on the far side of the river from the town, next to Queen's College Recreation Ground, and primarily accessible along the river's bridle path. Prior to the use of this building, a different building was used, one situated in the same place. The previous building burnt down in 1999. == History ==
History
The club was founded in 1966. The boat club also represents St Cross College, Oxford and several rowers from St Cross have participated in The Boat Race, the first in 1974. In 2004, Peter Reed became Wolfson's first representative to compete in the men's Boat Race and in 2010, two rowers from the boat club competed in the The Boat Race 2010. As of 2025, two boats for the men's squad and three for the women's squad are pre-qualified in both events due to previous successes. In 2019, Wolfson Boat Club celebrated both its 50th anniversary and achieving, for the first time, Women's Headship, which is the highest ranking possible in Bumps racing. In 2025, the men's 1st VIII followed suit and achieved the lofty 'double' headship, clinching top spot at both Torpids and Eights Week in the same year.
