Crew Classic Trophies
The Crew Classic is privileged to have a collection of over fifty beautiful awards that reflect the hard work, commitment and dedication of all our race winners. Crew Classic athletes can be proud to hoist high the trophies and awards that are made possible by the continued support of local families, rowing clubs, businesses and individuals who donate to the Crew Classic trophy funds every year.
Winning an award and presenting the trophies in front of the crowds at the Crew Classic is a highlight of the regatta for both athletes and trophy sponsors. Please consider becoming a part of this very special tradition by sponsoring a Crew Classic trophy by contacting bobbie@crewclassic.org.

Sponsored by the David C. Copley Foundation and the James S. Copley Family, the Copley Cup is considered the feature race of the Crew Classic. This coveted prize recognizes the long time support of the Copley family since our first regatta in 1973. At the first two regattas, the cup was presented to the winner of the men’s open varsity race. Since 1975, the Copley Cup has been presented to the winner of this invitational race for top men’s collegiate varsity crews.

The Whittier Cup was first awarded in 1983 when the Crew Classic introduced this invitational women’s varsity race to match the men’s Copley Cup. Joe Jessop Sr. and Paul Whittier were best friends, so it is fitting that their names appear together as a tribute to that friendship and their support and vision for the Crew Classic. Whittier was a strong and consistent supporter of the Crew Classic up until his death in 1991. During the Silver Anniversary of the Crew Classic in 1993, this cup was re-dedicated to honor Joe Jessop Sr., a founder of the Crew Classic, for his exceptional support of the regatta.
