Carson Cook joined Lewis & Clark rowing as an assistant coach ahead of the 2026-27 season. A 2026 Lewis & Clark graduate, Cook earned a degree in English literature and was a two-time Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) Scholar-Athlete Award recipient.
Â
Since graduating, Cook has continued to develop her coaching skills through participation in the CRCA Academy of Future Coaches. Through the program, she gained valuable insights into recruiting, rigging, novice development and team culture, while also learning to coach coxswains and navigate the responsibilities of an assistant coach in collegiate athletics.
Â
As she begins her first season with Lewis & Clark rowing, Cook looks forward to working with the program's incoming novice class, supporting the next generation of River Otter rowers and, of course, seeing all of the athletes' silly socks.
