Algemene Utrechtse Studenten Roeivereniging ORCA (A.U.S.R. ORCA) is a student rowing club in Utrecht, Netherlands. ==History== The General Utrecht Student Rowing Club ORCA, located on the Merwedekanaal at Utrecht, was founded on 24 October 1970 out of the fusion of two older Utrecht student rowing clubs, Charon and Batavier. During a general member meeting the foundation of ORCA became a fact. The common aim of the newly founded rowing club became reaching the national and international top. These ambitions led to results very quickly. In 1973 Orca rowers rowed a national record. Hereafter the association starts to grow more and more towards its goal: nearly every year Orca rowers conquer places in the Dutch rowing crew for the championships or even for the Olympic games. During the Summer Olympics of 1976 in Montreal Orca rower Hette Borrias rowed in the Dutch women's coxed four. In 1980, a silver medal was won in the world championships. In 1981, the Dutch crew consisted of 16 rowers, ten of which were ORCA rowers, which resulted in another silver medal. A very important victory in 1980 was the coxed four at The Varsity, the most important student rowing event in the Netherlands. It was a great sensation that Orca's coxed four, non-members of a student corporation rowing club, won this race on the waters of the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. Since then Orca won this event repeatedly for a total of 5 times. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orca Rowing Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
