Trinity Women's Rowing updates

It has been awesome hearing from so many of our own Trinity athletes who are feeling the lengthy summer already - the summer is really only half over but the preparations that people are making physically sound excellent. The picture is of the Trinity men and women who were competing at the US Club Nationals (not including some of the incoming freshmen). We'll be missing some very important juniors to study abroad programs but will have to adjust. As much as it's not comfortable or helpful for the team, I do recognize the value of a study abroad experience. However, the returning athletes have to understand that they have to hit the ground running on their return and be ready to contribute at a higher level then they left the previous May.

It's also been really encouraging hearing from our incoming freshmen athletes - there is some great sculling experience, height, and ability in the group and I'm looking for them to become a cohesive and motivated class.

Finally, I'll be interviewing an assistant coach candidate tomorrow afternoon and will try to keep everyone updated as I know more.
