Established as a 501 (c) 3 in 1985, Loyola Academy Rowing Association (LARA) provides the opportunity for Loyola Academy students to learn and compete in the sport of rowing. The teams strive toward excellence in Jesuit ideals and aspire to become “Women and Men for Others.” LARA believes that the arduous, demanding nature of the sport creates the ideal environment for the physical, mental, and spiritual development of student athletes. To this end, LARA endeavors to lead students toward recognition, appreciation and fulfillment of their true athletic potential through the shared pursuit of winning both the MSRA Midwest Championships and the SRAA National Championships.
