Comments from Head Coach Chris Bailey-Greene

“The team had a great day across the board. Being our inaugural fall, we are working to stay present as a squad, mindful of our faults while illuminating our strengths. Our training plan, technical focus, resiliency in our quick growth as a team, and our love for one another has pushed this team to something more than just a start-up. We look forward to continuing to be more than just a rowing team, all of which manifests itself onto the race course. Thank you to all of our supporters, the coaching staff, and the student-athletes for their ever-elevating buy in to something special”
