NEW YORK – A group of eight talented first-years will join the Columbia women's rowing team in the fall, head coach Melanie Onufrieff announced recently. It is a class that has competed among the best in the country at the high school level and will deepen an emerging Columbia squad.
"For us, recruiting isn't just about physiology and athletic potential; equally important are attitude and outlook," Onufrieff said.
"This class not only has great results from their high school/club rowing, but they also have the boldness and vision to make them really successful in Columbia's community and on the Ivy/EAWRC/NCAA racecourse. They'll make an immediate impact on the team and join with our returners to carry 2010's momentum into 2011 and beyond."
The eight members of the class of 2014 hail from six different states and carry a wide array of experience at the club and national level.
