Keble College Boat Club (KCBC) is the rowing club of Keble College, in Oxford, United Kingdom.[4] The boat club is based in its boathouse on the Isis, which is shared with Jesus College. Most of the year is spent training at the boat club's second facility at the Godstow stretch to the North.
History
[edit]In Summer Eights the Men's and Women's first VIII crews have consistently raced in the top division. The men have held the Headship on eight occasions, most recently in 2018, and are currently in third position on the river. The women's boat is now eighth position on the river, after reaching a peak of fifth on the river in 2017. The second and third boats regularly achieve blades in lower divisions.[5]
In Torpids, while Keble has not yet achieved the Men's or the Women's headship, both first boats have enjoyed periods of success, especially in recent years. The women's first Torpid is currently fifth on the River, having peaked at fourth on the river in 2019. The highest position the Men have held was second on the river, last held in 1988, before dropping to 33rd on the river, the position they occupied at the end of 2013 racing. Since then, they have risen 26 places to sixth on the river, achieving blades in five of their last eight Torpids campaigns.[5]
The Women's first Torpid represented Oxford at the Henley Boat Races inter-collegiate race in 2017, where they defeated Jesus College, Cambridge.[6] They were also selected to represent Oxford in 2018,[7] but the race was unfortunately cancelled.[8]
Three Keblites occupied boat race crews in the 2017 Cancer Research UK Boat Race crews. Olympic gold medallist Ed Coode rowed for the college 1st VIII during his time at Keble in the late 1990s.[citation needed]
Training, equipment, and fleet
[edit]In addition to the water training, the boat club uses the college gym and its own erg room.[2] KCBC is sponsored by Child Bereavement UK. [9]
