Graduate assistant coach Haley Yeager is back for a third season with the Women's Rowing program. She oversees the UW's novice boats and helps coach the walk-on rowers.

Last year, in her first season working with new UW head coach Yaz Farooq, Yeager helped guide her alma mater back to the top of the college rowing world as Washington became the first team ever to sweep all three grand finals at the NCAA Championships.

The Huskies, who also won the Pac-12 Championship, won their first NCAA crown since 2001 and Yeager was a part of a group named the Division I Coaching Staff of the Year by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association.

Yeager assists in the recruiting process, helps improve the athletes rowing mechanics and techniques, and has helped implement a training and fitness program to improve the athletes strength, power, and endurance.

Yeager started coaching rowing in 2012, where she was the assistant coach for the novice women at the Green Lake Small Craft Center. A year later she was promoted to head coach of the same program. In 2014, Yeager was the freshman women's head coach for the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Ga. From there she transitioned to the assistant varsity/head novice women’s coach at the Atlanta Junior Rowing Association before coming back to Seattle to work with the Huskies.
