Syracuse University has hired LUKE MCGEE, former U.S. Olympic national team coach, as the women’s rowing head coach. He will take the reins from Justin Moore, who guided the Orange to three NCAA Championship appearances and seven top-three finishes in the ACC in his eight years at Syracuse. As a men’s head coach for the USA national team from 2012-17, McGee managed all aspects of the USA men’s 8+ Olympic training. During his tenure, the U.S. men’s 8+ team won four World Cup medals, one World Championship medal, and finished fourth at the 2016 Rio Olympics. McGee was a six-time national team member, and part of the gold-medal winning four with coxswain at the World Championship. McGee earned his bachelor’s degree from Brown, where he was a successful rower. He was also a 2002 Oxford graduate.
