2022 Outlook - "We are in the midst of winter training with one of the largest rosters ever for January (total of 75 rowers and coxswains) and minimal attrition. There is a broad range of speed but also a good amount of pressure to make the top boats on the varsity as well as on the novice squad. We will race with as many as we can in order to keep the momentum going forward and through spring, as well as into next fall. Thanks to our team culture and the amazing dedication of my staff, we have been able to actually build momentum through Covid. How much speed will come out in May remains to be seen. We are still in 'let's just race mode' - taking nothing for granted."

2021 Outlook - "We are working every day like we'll be racing a National Championship this Spring. For one, we believe it can happen and two, perhaps more importantly, this is our goal and our path. It gives us purpose, motivation and belonging. If we get to race, we want to absolutely throw it down. We owe it to our "brothers in oars" to give them the best and hardest races ever - it's been too long!"

2020 Outlook - "After welcoming a new, fast novice class and successful Fall racing season in which the team showed measured improvement from top to bottom, we're entering Winter and Spring with a deliberate focus on the process of development. While the weather here is currently chilly, we'll continue to take our practices one day at a time in search of reaching our potential with an emphasis and an eye towards the fourth weekend in May and a possible European racing tour over the summer."

2019 Seniors - 10
2019 Outlook - "This year is a rebuilding year, and our Fall racing results have shown that. Combined with numerous changes in our training and racing schedule, our strong 1st and 2nd year classes, there are a lot of opportunities and seats up for grabs. We do not have any expectations for the Spring racing season. We are fully focused on the process and the development for the future. This is what makes college rowing so exciting - you can never sit still."

2018 Seniors - 20
2018 Outlook - "We enjoy a very talented athlete pool moving into the 2018 Spring Season. The strong 3rd year class from 2017 has really stepped up their training and leadership. Their focus on the process and attention to detail has elevated the entire squad. Early successes this fall have proven to reinforce that culture in an impressive way. Team morale remains high, even in the bleak winter training months. The athletes and my staff are looking forward to see how far the we can push each other and are eager to demonstrate all of their hard work during the sprint season."

2017 Seniors - 12
2017 Outlook - "It is a very exciting group this year, with plenty of 3rd years pushing forward as well as dragging along the 2nd years and novices. Doesn’t everybody want a strong junior class? It’s definitely fun. The results will be what they are, our attention and concern is entirely on the process, the journey, and having fun while at it. Results don’t justify anything. We will definitely start a little slower this year – we have a long season ahead of us with Henley on the horizon. Early season competition will not be important."

2016 Seniors - 8
2016 Outlook - "We have not had a 'down year' in a long time, yet last year we probably didn’t perform to our potential. We are going into this spring with a deeper and more experienced team than before. We will build on our experiences and development over the past two years in particular and we have high expectations for ourselves to perform to our best. Although I believe that 2017 is potentially our best year during my tenure here, I have a strong feeling that we might be surprising ourselves this Spring."
