Get To Know The Indiana Rowing 2018 Signing Class

BLOOMINGTON, Indiana – Indiana Rowing head coach Steve Peterson and his staff signed seven current high school seniors to National Letters of Intent back in the fall and then welcomed Kira Ritter as a transfer over the winter break. Below is a look at each of them as they join the Indiana family from across the globe.
 
 
86423

Kira Ritter
Hometown: Harrison, Ohio
High School Club: Cincinnati Juniors
Previous School: Clemson University
Height: 5'11
Intended Major: Political Science 
 
Quoting Ritter: "Rowing is my passion for two reasons: the camaraderie and the racing.  There isn't anything better than sitting at the starting docks, knowing the strength your training and girls in the boat, waiting for the official to drop the flag so you can test the limits and prove your speed against other boats on the course. I want to win NCAA's, and fully believe that this team has the means to get there if we take advantage of them."
 
Peterson talking about Ritter: "Kira comes to us with a year of Division I rowing experience, as well as some great success prior to that as a part of the Cincinnati Junior Program.  She is a very competitive athlete that we are excited to have join our program."     
 
 
86419

Jayna Dolfi
Hometown: The Woodlands, TX
High School Club: The Woodlands
Height: 6'1
Intended Major: Business  
 
Quoting Dolfi: "I chose Indiana because from the moment I stepped on campus the team welcomed me with open arms. I'm so excited to get on the water and start working with them this coming year. I came to rowing from a swimming background and I love the daily grind.
Getting out on the water and putting my all into every practice to reach team goals is what pushes me every single day."
 
Peterson talking about Dolfi: "Jayna is a strong and powerful athlete who has only begun to realize her potential in her short time in our sport.  Successful in both small boats, as well as in the 8, she is going to be an exciting athlete to work with and watch develop during her time here at IU."
 
 
86420

Jessica Earle
Hometown: Shingle Springs, CA
High School Club: Capital Crew
Height: 5'2
Intended Major: Human Biology 
 
Quoting Earle: "Rowing became my passion when I realized how competitive of a sport it is. I like to compete, but I love to win. As a coxswain, I will strive toward making my team the best that it can be."
 
Peterson talking about Earle: "Jessica is a dynamic, smart leader who has learned from one of the best coaches to ever sit in the coxswain seat - Sarah Puddicombe.  We look forward to watching Jessica lead our crews to success in the future."
 
 
86421

Drew Harris
Hometown: St. Louis, Missouri
High School Club: St. Louis Rowing Club
Height: 5'11
Intended Major: Nutrition Science 
 
Quoting Harris: "The sport of rowing itself is amazing. It not only allows me to compete with other teams, but also to compete with my own teammates and to grow individually. It has made me mentally stronger, which has helped me in all aspects of life. The friendships I have made through this sport are ones I will cherish forever, and my teammates motivate me every day. My main goal is to do what makes me happy. I know I'll be happy at Indiana and I look forward to growing there, and I am excited to see where it takes me."
 
Peterson talking about Harris: "Drew is the next athlete in a long line of successful St. Louis junior rowers who have committed to keeping Indiana one of the top programs in the country.  A tough, competitive athlete, she is sure to be a big part of our future success."

 
86422
Ruby Leverington
Hometown: Wellington, New Zealand
High School: Wellington Rowing Club
Height: 5'9
Intended Major: Kinesiology
 
Quoting Leverington: "Sport has always been a big part of my life. I switched to rowing from track and cross-country when I was 14 and have loved it ever since. It wasn't until my final year of high school when I focused on the single and formed a really strong bond with my coach, Rachel Gamble-Flint. I then realized how much rowing meant to me and I started taking it seriously. At Indiana, the rowing program, team atmosphere, and scenery at Indiana were what stood out to me."
 
Peterson talking about Leverington: "Ruby is a highly successful sculler from New Zealand who always has a smile on her face.  Coached by former GB sculler, Rachel Gamble-Flint, Ruby's racing success is sure to translate to boat speed for the Hoosiers."
 
 
86426

Sophie McCartin
Hometown: Christchurch, New Zealand
High School Club: Rangi Ruru

Peterson talking about McMartin: "Sophie is an extremely powerful and nationally ranked rower from New Zealand who brings with her a ton of racing success in 8's and 4's.  A quiet but intense athlete, the sky is the limit for Sophie."

 
86424

Keeley Walsh
Hometown: Brisbane, Australia
High School Club: Somerville
Height: 5'9
Intended Major: Human Biology  
 
Quoting Walsh: "As soon as I stepped onto the campus, the vibe of not only the rowing team but also the whole student body was so warm and welcoming. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to be associated with. One day, I would like to represent my country and I know being a Hoosier will help me achieve that."
 
Peterson talking about Walsh: "Keeley is a successful rower from Australia who fit right in with the team when she visited.  It was obvious from our first discussion during the recruiting process that she is a natural born leader and someone we had to have in our program." 
 

 
86425

Emily Worobel
Hometown: Rumson, New Jersey
High School: Rumson-Fairhaven
Height: 5'7

I am proud to be one of only a few who get to represent Indiana while enjoying everything the school and beautiful campus has to offer."

IU Rowing Remembers Dale England

 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.  –  Longtime supporter of IU Rowing and IU Athletics, Dale England, passed away in Cleveland on Friday, April 19 after a long illness.
 
In his name, the Dale England Rowing Center was constructed in 2015. With his support, the facility was upgraded to a 10,000 square foot building on Lake Lemon that holds the team's boats and equipment. His interest with the program began when his daughter Becky was a coxswain from 2000-03 and a boat was dedicated in her honor in 2005.
 
"Dale was not only a very close personal friend, but he was a good friend to our team and the whole athletic department," IU Rowing head coach Steve Peterson said. "There was not a person in IU Athletics that Dale was not friends with or say hi to.  That's the type of person he was.  He had a huge influence on the members of the rowing team over the last 15-20 years. We established a cup race in his honor and named our rowing facility after him. That is how much he meant to us and was a part of our team.  Our hearts go out to the England family, and we will never forget the impact he made in all of our lives.  We will truly miss him."  
 
He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Sharon along with daughters, Sarah and Becky.

Hoosier Rowers Named CRCA All-American Nominees and Scholar Athlete Honorees

 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.  –  Indiana Rowing's Abigail Bogovich and Jordan Miller were named 2020 College Rowing Coaches Association All-American nominees while eight earned scholar athlete honors.
 
The absence of competitive results or a national championship due to the COVID-19 pandemic preclude awarding 1st and 2nd Team All-America Awards for the 2020 season.  However, the coaches of the CRCA still wanted to find a way to recognize the top performers in NCAA women's rowing. Bogovich, a senior, and Miller, a junior, were both honored as part of the Division I team.
 
2020 Scholar Athlete Awards requirements have been modified for the 2020 season.  Student athletes must be in their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of eligibility, must be ranked performance-wise in the top 50% of their team, or in the "NCAA Squad" (whichever is smaller) at the conclusion of the 2020 season, and must have a 3.50 cumulative GPA or higher for their career, and through the fall semester or quarter for the current competition year.
 
Hoosiers that made the list included Libby Brown, Nicole Conway, Antonia Frappell, Ruby Leverington, Liz Saunders, Kaylynn Scher, Paige Spiller and Victoria Vicory.
