It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Luke Rein ’15 won the men’s single sculls at this year’s American Collegiate Rowing Association National Championship. His coaches knew he could do it.
“He is one of the best athletes in the country and has Olympic potential,” says Travis Landrith ’98, the crew team’s coach, noting that Rein placed third at last year’s regatta and, at the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships, he has won the Men’s 4+ the past two years and has made the medal podium the past four. “Luke has been the most decorated rower in our crew’s history.
“The College’s success attracts students from all over the country,” continues Landrith. “We are a small program compared to most; however, everyone knows we produce solid athletes and competitive boats. We used to be able to sneak under the radar. Not anymore. Schools plan for us now.”
