Draft

Addition to topic sentence: The ACRA has over 160 members, all of who are collegiate club-level programs competing across the U.S.

History section additions:

The ACRA was established once the IRA declared that club rowing programs (varsity) programs were no longer allowed to compete at the IRA Regatta. Yet, ACRA programs are still competitive with their Varsity counterparts and see action against one another at major regattas such as: Head of the Charles, San Diego Crew Classic, Dad Vail Regatta, and N.I.R.C.

The first ACRA National Championships was hosted on the Oklahoma River at Regatta Park and drew 600 athletes from over 40 programs to compete over two days. Since, the regatta has grown to accompany over 1700 athletes from 79 teams and as of 2019, expanded to a three-day event.

Michigan has won the team point trophy each year since the ACRA was incepted in 2008 and has won the men's national championship, the winner of the Varsity 8+ event, eight times. Virginia, UCSB, and most recently Delaware have won the pther four men's titles. Meanwhile, the women's title has been won by Grand Valley 5, Ohio State, Purdue 2, UCSB 4.
