History
Starting as a mixed eight (4 men, 4 women) in 1968 the crew made its way through the Getting-On race and into the May Bumps. In the 1969 May Bumps Wolfson claimed blades, managing to move up six positions with an over-bump. The 1970 Lents crew also won blades. In the 1970 Mays Wolfson commanded a sandwich position between the 4th and 5th divisions and was coached by Johan Schreiner - a Norwegian international oarsman.[1]
In the 1971 Lents the club won blades once again.[2]
In 2015 May Bumps, M1 and M2 won blades.[3]
