2025 Outlook - "We have finished 5th as a team at MAAC for the past two years. Even though the team placement was the same, the results were different. Last year our three boats were, in total, 9 seconds off the podium. We had record-setting team results on the erg, but we simply weren’t able to translate that fitness into boat speed. Our best bet last year was our 2V8, who raced the entire length of the course without a rudder and finished 4th. At the end of the day, we didn’t have enough speed to place better, but we trained better and we raced better than we did the previous year. This year’s team has lofty goals and have been putting in the work to give themselves the chance to achieve those goals. We’ve seen promising race results this fall and we’re looking forward to racing at Knecht Cup and SIRA before heading back to NJ for the MAAC Championship."

2023 Outlook - "I was very excited to take the helm at Stetson last fall. This is my first full year with the team, and with a full coaching staff. The changes that we’ve made to the program seem to be having a positive impact on the culture of the team as well as the physical progress of the athletes. We’ve spent a lot of time this fall talking about who we are, who we are striving to be, and how we can hold each other accountable. There has been a lot of growth in a short period of time.

"We were lucky to escape major damage from the two hurricanes that came through the area, but we weren’t able to row on our home waters for most of the fall semester. We scrambled to find an alternative location, but that cut down on our rowing time dramatically. The upside? We had to spend more time on the ergs and the results of testing put us in a better position this fall compared to last fall. We’re making up for the lost water time by spending more time in small boats this spring to help us learn what makes boats go fast.

"The MAAC conference is becoming increasingly more competitive with a few new head coaches that will certainly push for a berth to the NCAA Championship. There are at least four other programs that have a shot this year. We have a good group of upperclassmen who have been strengthened by our freshmen. I suspect we’ll have freshmen in each of our championship boats this spring as we push for a podium finish as a team.

"Go Hatters!"

2025 Outlook - "Our men’s team has continued to slowly grow in size and depth. Virtually every member of the team raced at Dad Vail last year with the eight missing the grand final by 4 seconds, and the small boats earning medals. We graduated a small number from last year’s team and brought in a large incoming class including transfers, experienced freshmen, and novice walk-ons. This spring we’re sitting with a little over 2 eights of men. Our top-end speed should be on par with where we were last year, while our increased roster size will require some time to develop. Our schedule will allow us to line up against several northern teams while they train in DeLand before we travel to Knecht Cup and SIRA prior to racing for an IRA bid at Dad Vail."

We’re making up for the lost water time by spending more time in four’s, battling against each other.

"The goal this year is to earn the right to race at IRA’s. Last year’s results at Dad Vail, although promising, were not what I needed to see in order to justify making the trip to IRA’s. Stetson is a small team at a small university. Our competitiveness on the water shouldn’t show that. We are working to be in a place where we can line up next to any team in the country and be competitive, even if we can’t field a boat in every event. We have a seasoned group of upperclassmen and were fortunate to grow that group with some very experienced freshmen. If we can stay healthy and hungry, we should be able to make the grand final at Dad Vail in the men’s eight.
