Concrete Canoe

UAH Concrete Canoe has just won it's 16th Regional championship (2024) and will be representing UAH at the national level at BYU during June 20-22. UAH is a member of the Gulf Coast Conference (formed 2022) after a long run in the Southeast Conference, which UAH has represented sixteen times at the national level (1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2010).

Never finishing lower than ninth at nationals, their five national wins (1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001) and three second place finishes (1992, 1997, and 1999) give Team UAH one of the strongest overall performance records in the competition.  UAH is one of six schools (the University of California - Berkeley, Clemson, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Cal Poly - SLO, and the University of Florida are the other five) that have won back-to-back national titles.  They have finished ten times in the top five and sixteen times in the top ten.  The Chargers remain the only team to have swept the National Concrete Canoe Competition (1994).
