Thomas Wenk '22 has returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach at the start of the 2025-26 school year.

Wenk, who was a four-year member of the Husky program returns to Seattle after having spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach with the Columbia University lightweights program in New York.

A product of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Cincinnati Junior Rowing Club, Wenk was the coxswain of the Huskies' freshman eight during the 2019 season, leading that crew to the Pac-12 Championship before coxing the UW's third varsity eight to the national title at IRAs.
