ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan rowing team enters its 20th season of existence in 2016, all under the guidance of head coach Mark Rothstein. A young Wolverines squad qualified for the NCAA Rowing Championships for the 16th time in Rothstein's tenure in 2015, finishing 10th overall -- Michigan's 15th top-10 at the NCAA regatta. Michigan's NCAA finish followed a second-place showing at the Big Ten Rowing Championships, highlighted by the 2V8's individual boat title. With just four seniors gone from last year's roster, the Wolverines are poised for a big year this season, led by another small senior class led by Adena Coste and coxswain Emma Knorps.
Eighteen of 23 student-athletes who competed at the 2015 NCAA Rowing Championships will return in 2016, and a talented freshman class will be in the mix for spots on the Wolverines' competition boat rosters. Michigan is looking to make another run as one of the elite programs in Division I rowing.
This season, Coach Rothstein will share his thoughts about the 2016 season in a regular podcast series, continuing this week as the Wolverines prepare for the Big Ten Rowing Championships at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis next weekend (May 14-15).
Coming off a varsity sweep in its final home race of the spring season, Michigan has kicked off a month of intense practice sessions on the water at Belleville Lake, known in the program as Camp Wolverine. Rothstein discusses what makes Camp Wolverine unique and reflects on the Michigan Rowing Class of 2016.
