This year marks a remarkable milestone for the University of California - 150 years of men's rowing, the university's first intercollegiate sport. To honor this legacy and look ahead to the next 150 years, Cal Men's Rowing has produced the new documentary Owe Them Victory that celebrates the program's deep history and its many achievements including 19 National Championships, 3 Team Olympic Gold Medals, and 59 individual Olympians while also highlighting the powerful sense of community it continues to inspire among alumni and supporters.

The film was directed and produced by Jack Gordon '21, an Emmy Award–winning documentary filmmaker and alumni of the rowing program. Through extraordinary archival footage, intimate interviews, and never-before-told stories, Owe Them Victory captures not only the competitive excellence that has defined Cal Men's Rowing but also the enduring impact the program has had on generations of student-athletes, the university, and the sport itself.
