USRowing has retained Colin Campbell as its junior national rowing team men's head coach and hired Justin Moore as its junior national team women's head coach, the organization announced on Monday.
Campbell, who has been the boy's head coach at Peddie School since 2002, begins his third season as head coach of the junior men's national team. Campbell led the junior men's eight to a bronze medal at the 2008 FISA World Rowing Senior and Junior Championships. Prior to taking over head coaching duties, Campbell served as a junior national team assistant coach, helping the U.S. win gold in the eight in 2005. Before joining Peddie, Campbell coached at St. Mark's School, St. Paul's School and Cincinnati Country Day School.
Moore, who is the women's head coach at Williams College, will be USRowing's new junior women's head coach. He replaces Steve Hargis, who has taken over USRowing's junior national team development program. Currently in his 10th year at Williams, Moore guided the Ephs to NCAA Division III team championships in 2002, 2006, and 2008. He was named the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Division III Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2008. Prior to arriving at Williams, Moore was the assistant heavyweight men's coach at Yale University. Internationally, he served as an assistant coach for USRowing's 1997 Under 23 National Team and coached at both the 1993 and 1995 U.S. Olympic Festivals. While on sabbatical from Williams during the 2006-07 school year, he served as a guest coach with the Canadian National Team. Moore worked with the senior, under 23, commonwealth and world university teams in Canada.
USRowing will announce the junior men's and women's assistant coaches as soon as they are finalized.
