Head coach Chase Graham said of his three new assistant coaches, “Each of them brings a unique set of skills and experience that will be a valuable resource to our staff and student-athletes. Aside from offering their backgrounds in racing at the highest levels of the NCAA, they are all great people and will serve as positive role models for all that get to work with them.”

Sailor Hawes begins her collegiate coaching career at USD after coaching masters at Lake Casitas Rowing Association. Prior to that, Hawes graduated from Gonzaga where she coxed the Varsity 8+ to back-to-back WCC Championships.
