2011 Outlook
"The woman’s eight will be quite different from the national championship eight of a year ago with many new younger faces filling in the seats behind co-captains and first team all American Amanda Carlyon and Elite 88 winner Bethany Brun. There will be a lot of growing and valued experienced gained from the early races before we see really what sort of potential the boat has. What won’t change will be the expectations; we expect to win. Winter training has gone well and the freshmen are learning what it takes to be collegiate athlete. The goal is to improve with every race and I think it will be a boat that won’t find its true speed until the end of the season. There are a lot of questions that have to be answered, but I am excited to see how fast they can be."

2011 Outlook
"It’s one thing to win the eight at Dad Vails it’s a whole lot harder to repeat. There will be no sneaking up on people this year. The boat does return five guys and it will be up to the others on the team to see who is going to step up and fill the seats left by the seniors. It will be interesting to see how the new faces fit in and what sort of chemistry this year’s crew will have. The potential is definitely there but it will be up to the individuals to see if that translates into speed. We want to continue to push bar and build a tradition of excellence."

2011 Outlook
"The nucleus of the open mens team will come from the freshman four that won the silver medal at Dad Vails. The key to the heavyweights success will be how well they blend together. They are all fit strong guys, but their styles of rowing are all slightly different. The sooner they gel as a unit the more success they will have. We are going to row a lot in pairs to see who works well together in the early season before we move into the bigger boats. The goal is to win at Dad Vails and change the silver to a gold."
