Arrives After Three Championship Seasons at Navy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Colgate Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. Nicki Moore has selected Jessica Deitrick for the Colgate Women\u2019s Rowing head coaching position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deitrick brings championship credentials to Hamilton. She spent the past three seasons as the assistant coach at Navy for a Mids program that is riding a streak of five consecutive Patriot League titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navy swept to this year\u2019s conference crown with victories in all three races. The Mids then went on to a No. 17 final finish at the NCAA Championships, matching the best result in program history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deitrick coached the second varsity eight the last two seasons after coaching varsity fours in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am truly excited to welcome Jessica Deitrick as the newest addition to our Colgate head coaching community,\u201d Moore said. \u201cJessica is a competitor, an educator, and is passionate about developing young women through the sport of rowing. The future of Colgate Women\u2019s Rowing is very bright with Jessica at the helm, and I can\u2019t wait to see what she will build here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we began this process to find our next head women\u2019s rowing coach, we were seeking someone who would elevate our program in the Patriot League while developing our rowing student-athletes on and off the water and supporting their sustained academic excellence. We are so thrilled to have found that coach in Jessica Deitrick. Not only are we confident in her ability to do these things, but we are impressed by her history of building programs — both as a head coach at High Point and as an assistant at Navy. As we have come to know her through this search process, we are also convinced she will be an excellent addition to our department and to the robust coaching community we are nurturing here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National and International Success<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to their streak of Patriot League championships, the Mids finished 20th, 17th and 17th nationally in Deitrick\u2019s three seasons with the program. The Navy coaches were named 2018 and 2019 CRCA Region Staff of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deitrick this summer coached at the prestigious Henley Royal Regatta and Henley Women\u2019s Regatta in England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Women\u2019s Henley, the women\u2019s straight four (4-) knocked off local teams Oxford University and Leander Club to advance to the semifinals. They lost in the semis to eventual champions Edinburgh University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Henley Royal Regatta, Deitrick\u2019s Navy crew competed in the King\u2019s Cup for the first time since 1919. Eight different countries represented by their military competed against one another. U.S. Armed Forces won the event, beating Germany in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am honored to be named the next head women\u2019s rowing coach at Colgate University,\u201d Deitrick said. \u201cI would like to thank Dr. Nicki Moore, Steve Chouinard, the search committee and President Casey for this amazing opportunity. I am thrilled to be working with exceptional student-athletes and the Colgate faculty and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter visiting Hamilton, the campus, touring the Glendening Boathouse and meeting the faculty and staff, I knew Colgate University was the right place for me. My vision for this program aligns well with Colgate\u2019s Third-Century Plan and the goals of the Athletics Department. I am confident I can lead the women\u2019s rowing program to many successful seasons on and off the water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous Head Coaching Experience<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Named to Navy head coach Joe Schlosberg’s staff in August 2016, Deitrick (nee, Mahon) arrived in Annapolis after a successful run at High Point as that university\u2019s head coach of club rowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While at the North Carolina school, Deitrick was responsible for the competitive efforts of more than 40 male and female student-athletes. In two years leading the program, both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams prospered in races at the Knecht Cup, Dad Vails, SIRAs and the American Collegiate Rowing Association national championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deitrick\u2019s women\u2019s novice eight crew was ranked first in the ACRA poll for four consecutive weeks during the 2016 spring season. In 2015, the High Point men\u2019s pair won an ACRA national title and finished second at Dad Vails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A native of Rhinebeck, New York, in the Lower Hudson River Valley, Deitrick rowed collegiately at William Smith. She competed with the Herons for four varsity seasons and was a team captain during her junior and senior campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deitrick graduated William Smith College in May 2008 with a B.A. in psychology before attaining a master\u2019s degree in special education from Elon University in August 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is married to William Deitrick of Baltimore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
