row2k Interview - Washington's Ty Otto This week's spring collegiate preview interview is with Washington senior Ty Otto. Otto raced in the 2010 Husky V8+ and USA U23 M8+ and talks about rowing at UW, goals for his senior year, and the Huskies rivalry with Cal.
2014 Outlook "In an extremely strong Pac-12 field this year, Washington will look to senior and returning leadership in the varsity 8 to stay competitive this year. With six returning athletes out of the top boat from last year this shouldn't be an issue. Among those six returners are four seniors: Maddie Johnston who coxed the eight to their third place finish at Pac-12s and fifth place finish at NCAAs, Patricia Obee, Ruth Whyman and Kirstyn Goodger. Their experience, talent and leadership will be invaluable to the Huskies this season.
"The UW will also look to capitalize on the talent out of their undefeated novice eight boat from last season that ended their reign last year with a gold medal at Pac-12s. These rowers in addition to the strong athletes out of the 2V8 and the four will be fighting hard to move up into higher boats creating more competition and pushing the whole team to be better."
-Head Coach Bob Ernst
2013 Outlook "The whole Pac-12 Conference is going to be tough this year. USC has a lot of talent, Stanford and California have Olympians coming back, UCLA had a great showing last year and I don’t expect anybody to sag. The Cougars will be good and Oregon State will be good so it’s going to be a real knock-down, drag out season. It will be really important for us to go to San Diego and do a good job because it will be our only chance this season to race a lot of our Pac-12 competition before the Championship in May. When I look at the talent, not only are our varsity crews going to be really competitive in our conference, but the JVs will be too. Not many teams lost too many people, so it’s just going to be stiff competition the entire season.
"I think we have good leadership. We have a really, really young team again this year, so our seniors will be our players to watch. Madison Culp, a world champion, is back and Marie Strohmayer is another senior and she’s doing the best that she’s ever done here. One blessing that we got was getting Victoria Nenchev back. She took a year off to try to make the Olympic Team and she’s come back blazing. She’s doing a great job and pushing for a spot in the Varsity boat. She’s another year more mature and she’s stronger and fitter than she’s ever been, so we are really expecting good things from her. It’s going to be an exciting season!"
-Washington Coaching Staff
2012 Outlook "There’s some changing faces in the Pac-12 Conference. USC should be formidable. Always a lot of competition from Cal, Stanford, Washington State and Oregon State. Just a tremendous conference. Our kids are really looking forward to it and I’m really looking forward to it."
-Head Coach Bob Ernst
2011 Outlook "We’re looking forward to competing in the Pac-10 Conference. That level of competition should set us up for a successful postseason."
-Head Coach Bob Ernst
