We wrapped things up on Sunday evening with our end of the year banquet. Everyone looked lovely. It always nice to see the athletes dressed up and looking sharp!
The SU traditional awards were given:
Charley McIntyre Award (most improved):
Novice 8+
Emily Buck-Schmidt Top Nut Award (spirit of commmitment :hold the team together"):
Varsity 8+
Jim Gardiner Award (Most inpirational):
Jen Cruz
The team had an amazing inaugural season. The women proved to themselves, the university, the teams we competed with, and the ones we didn't, that Seattle University Women's Rowing belongs in Division I.
To the seniors, Audrey Shaw, Keara Collins, Katie O'Neill, and Taylor Orian, I wish you the very best of luck in your future life endeavors, I know you will all make it far. Come back and visit, whenever you can, and know that without you the would never have been the same.
To the returning athletes, work your butt off this summer, and be ready for another incredible season.
It has been an honor to coach these women, see them grow both in their rowing and life. I can only hope and pray now that I have many, many more years at Seattle University!
