Head Coach, Sarah Mcquaid
Howdy! I’m Coach McQuaid and I am currently pursuing my PhD in the Materials Science and Engineering department. I grew up in southern California, but have been in Texas for 10+ years. I joined TAMU Crew as a freshman with no prior rowing experience in 2018 and competed with the team until 2022. Outside of my research and Crew, you can find me coaching at Row House, participating in other outdoor activities like golf, running, paddle boarding, or hanging out with my two cats at home!
Open Men’s Assistant Coach, Anna Klein
Hi! I am so pumped to serve as a coach for crew. I know this team has incredible potential and I can’t wait to see it fulfilled. Coming from a swimming and water polo background, as well as olympic weightlifting, I know I have a lot to bring to the table. Rush Crew!
Novice Women’s Assistant Coach, Will Gallegos
HOWDY, my name is Will Gallegos and I’m extremely excited to be a novice coach this coming year. Some things about me include:
- I have a black lab named Daisy
- To most people’s surprise, I actually enjoy math and plan to pursue a Ph.D. in constructive quantum field theory
- I played basketball in high school and still enjoy playing for fun
- I am a huge nerd, my favorite TV show at the moment is ANDOR, and I love all of the Legend of Zelda Games (I have a tattoo of the Sheikah Eye) I’m looking forward to an extremely successful year!
Novice Men’s Assistant Coach, Owen Frazer
Howdy! I’m Owen and I can’t wait to start coaching this year. In my free time, I like to play games and hang out with my friends. I’ve been rowing for 5 years and I’m super excited to see how we’ll do this next season.
Open Women’s Assistant Coach, Brendan Rogers
Howdy! My name is Brendan and I'll be one of the novice coaches this fall. When I'm not on the water, I like getting out of the house and catching up with friends. I enjoy playing guitar in my free time and have also gotten into cooking over the past few years. I'm a bit of a movie buff too, so if you ever need a recommendation, I’ve got you covered.
