Last week, head coach Justin Moore officially introduced the latest signing class to join the women's rowing program. With the start of a new semester just weeks away, a group of fourteen eager young women will set foot on campus to embark on their careers as SU student-athletes. The incoming class is expected to have a noteworthy impact on the team as the Orange come off of an overall 13th place team standing at the 2016 NCAA Championships and look to keep the momentum going during their 2017 campaign.

“This group of 14 women has the potential to have a major impact on our team from the moment they step foot on campus. Averaging just under 5-11 as a group and combining national-championship level rowing with a tremendous amount of raw athleticism, we are very excited to help them develop throughout their careers at Syracuse. They are disciplined, gritty, dedicated to their academics, and committed to advancing our program into the national top 10.”
These women have chosen to bleed Orange and pursue excellence at a university with some of the highest ranked undergraduate programs in the nation as members as one of the up and coming names in the collegiate rowing field. The group is a collection of outstanding competitors who Moore believes embodies the traits of successful oarswomen. Aside from being one of the most physiologically capable recruited classes with the height, power, and racing results to prove it, these young women have already demonstrated leadership, raw athleticism, technical skill, maturity, fearlessness, emotional poise, energy, academic excellence, determination, and desire. These are the types of qualities it takes to shine both athletically and academically at Syracuse and will ultimately serve the women well beyond their collegiate experiences. The rowers hail from across the U.S. and abroad, representing the states of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Washington, and New Hampshire, and the countries of Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. The coaching staff continues to recruit the highest level of talent both nationally and internationally as they build a roster with the depth and strength to compete with the top collegiate programs in the country.
We here at SARA are incredibly excited to continue following these student-athletes as they develop and grow and the program as a whole as the women return to campus to get back to their studies and training at the end of the month.
