Alex Mann returns for the 2017-18 school year after another successful season on the UW staff in 2016-17.
Mann helped coach the Husky freshmen and led the Huskies' varsity 4+ to its eight consecutive Eric W Will Trophy as IRA champions in 2017. He also helped Washington regain the Jim Ten Eyck Memorial Trophy as overall points champion at the 2017 IRA Regatta, the Huskies' 10th Ten Eyck in the last 11 years.
Mann, a Bend, Ore. Native, was the UW men's intern in 2015-16. Mann came to the UW after a year as a volunteer coach with the Princeton lightweight men. In 2013-14 he completed the Advanced Certificate in Rowing Leadership at the Institute of Rowing Leadership at Community Rowing in Boston. He volunteered at Boston University with the heavyweight men as a part of the program. Prior to attending the IRL Mann coached for two years at his alma mater, the University of Puget Sound. He also assisted at the U.S. Junior Men's Sculling selection camp, helping to select the single, double, and quadruple sculling boats representing the U.S. at the 2014 Jr. Worlds in Hamburg, Germany.
Mann graduated from Puget Sound in 2011 with a degree in International Political Economy. He rowed for four years and was named team captain 2009-11. During his collegiate career at Puget Sound, Mann won three NCRC Championships in the varsity eight and received all-conference honors in 2011. He earned multiple community and service awards. Off the water, Mann enjoys cycling and woodworking among his many talents.
"Coaching for Washington has been a dream of mine for a long time. I look forward to working with the full team. There is a complete outfit of people behind the scenes who make the program run every day. From the training staff to the janitors, everyone is dedicated to doing their job very well. I could not be happier to be in the Pacific Northwest in the best rowing city in the country."
