The Miracle 9 1936 Olympic Mens Rowing Team

The Miracle 9 1936 Olympic Men s Rowing Team Before the boys of Miracel on Ice, there was another miracle team, and they were the 1936 NCAA Rowing Team of the Washington Huskies. This group of boys are among the greatest underdog champions in American history because of their unique and inspiring story. They literally came from nowhere to beat all the best rowing M8 crews in the country and later the world. They were an ordinary group of college kids from the rural North West, during the Great Depression. They had never left the state of Washington before competing for the Huskies. Their story takes place during a time in history when when the country needed heroes and much like the great Jesse Owens, these heroes inspired a nation.
