Third-year coach guided GW to program-best finish at A-10s
WASHINGTON -Â GW women's rowing head coach Marci Robles has been named the College Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) Region 1 Coach of the Year, the organization announced.
The CRCA Coach of the Year Award is intended to recognize a head coach that fits one or more of the following criteria: outstanding success during the current season, demonstrated great team improvement from the prior season, fulfilled team's potential and demonstrated a high level of professionalism and integrity as a coach.
Robles helped guide the Colonials to a second place finish at the A-10 Championship last month, matching the program's best mark ever at the competition that was also set under Robles in 2019.
Under her leadership, four members of the Buff & Blue - Lauren Bennett, Kathryn Donohue, Naomi Lee and Kathleen Westover - earned all-conference honors while all three GW boats medaled for the fourth straight season.
Robles was one of five Division I coaches to earn the award, joining Joe Schlosberg (Navy - Region 2), Glenn Putyrae (Alabama - Region 3), Justin Price (Rutgers - Region 4) and Yaz Farooq (Washington - Region 5).
