Alabama president dr. Stuart R. bell Dr. Stuart R. Bell became the 29th president of The University of Alabama on July 15, 2015. Founded in 1831, the University is the state’s flagship and a student-centered, comprehensive research university.

Dr. Bell has broad administrative experience and is a nearly 30-year veteran of higher education. He previously served at UA for 16 years where he founded and directed an interdisciplinary research center.

“I certainly look forward to leading this university as its next president and working alongside the many men and women who have made it a great university today and who will also make it a great university in the future,” Bell said on the day he was named UA president. “It’s just great to be here in Tuscaloosa, and it’s great to be in Alabama and to, once again, be able to say Roll Tide!”

Immediately prior to becoming UA’s president, Dr. Bell was executive vice president and provost at Louisiana State University. During Dr. Bell’s tenure there and earlier at the University of Kansas, where he served as dean of its College of Engineering, those institutions opened new facilities, and student recruitment, retention and success were emphasized.

First joining UA in 1986 as an assistant professor in the UA College of Engineering’s department of mechanical engineering, Dr. Bell was named department head nine years later.

With research interest in combustion engines, Dr. Bell has expertise in alternative fuels for engines, innovative engine designs and modeling of engine and engine processes. He directed UA’s Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies.

Dr. Bell was awarded the Society of Automotive Engineers’ Ralph Teetor Award for Outstanding Contributions to Research and Teaching in 1988. He was presented the T. Morris Hackney Faculty Leadership Award for the UA College of Engineering in 2001, and, in 2005, he received the Richard S. Woodbury Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

A native of Abilene, Texas, Dr. Bell earned a nuclear engineering degree from Texas A&M University in 1979. He earned his master’s and doctorate degrees in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M in 1981 and 1986, respectively.

He and his wife, Susan, have three adult children, Stuart, Stacy and Stephen.

BILL BATTLE DIRE C T O R O F AT H L ET IC S

William R. “Bill” Battle is in his third year as Director of Athletics at The University of Alabama.

Battle took over the job on Friday, March 22, 2013, succeeding Mal Moore who had held the position since November, 1999. Battle joined the Crimson Tide after a career as a college football coach and entrepreneur that was consistently hallmarked by innovation and foresight.

A native of Birmingham, Ala., Battle attended The University of Alabama on a football scholarship and enjoyed a successful playing career as a three-year starter at end for the Crimson Tide under legendary head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1960-62. Battle was a member of Bryant’s first national championship team at Alabama in 1961. Generally regarded as the team’s best end throughout his playing career, Battle came to Tuscaloosa after starring in three sports at Birmingham’s West End High School.

An excellent student, Battle earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology (minor in Psychology) from The University of Alabama in 1963 and a master’s degree in Education from The University of Oklahoma in 1964. He was an Academic All-SEC selection as a senior in 1962 and was selected to play in the Senior Bowl all-star game in Mobile, Ala., in January of 1963. He was named first team tight end and second team defensive end on The University of Alabama All Decade Team of the 1960s.

Battle entered the coaching profession as a graduate assistant at The University of Oklahoma in 1963 under famed head coach Bud Wilkinson. In 1964 and 1965, he served as an assistant coach at the United States Military Academy while serving a two-year military tour. In 1966, he moved on to the University

4

of Tennessee, where he served as an assistant coach under head coach Doug Dickey for four seasons (1966-69) until he was named head coach of the Volunteers in 1970. When he was named head coach, Battle was the youngest head coach in college football at the age of 28.

During his seven-year tenure as head coach (1970-76), Battle’s teams went 59-22-2, finished three seasons ranked in the nation’s top 10 among five top-20 finishes and won four out of five bowl games. Battle’s Tennessee teams won 11 games once (1970) and at least 10 games in three different seasons (1970, 1971 and 1972).

His first Tennessee team finished the season ranked fourth in both national polls. His 1971 team finished ranked ninth in both national polls and the 1972 Tennessee squad finished ranked eighth by the Associated Press and 11th in the Coaches’ poll.

Battle began a career in the private sector after his coaching career ended. He held various positions within Circle S Industries in Selma, Ala., and served as president of two different companies, as well as vice chairman of the Circle S Holding Company Board. During his six years at Circle S, the organization grew from two companies earning $12 million in annual sales to 10 companies earning $60 million.

Battle founded The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) in 1981, and served as president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) until 2002.

He also served as chairman of the board of Licensing Partners International (LPI), which was created in 2001 to represent the licensing interests of non-collegiate sports properties, as well as corporate and entertainment properties.

A 1981 inductee into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Battle was inducted as the first member of the charter class of the National Collegiate Licensing Association Hall of Fame in 2000. He was the recipient of the 2005 Paul W. Bryant Alumni Athlete Award at The University of Alabama and was inducted into the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Association (LIMA) Hall of Fame in 2008.

Battle received a National Football Foundation award in December 2008 for Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football. In June 2010, Bill was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators’ (NACMA) Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, receiving its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. He currently serves on the boards of the Bryant-Jordan Student-Athlete Foundation, The University of Alabama A-Club Educational & Charitable Foundation, the Crimson Tide Foundation, and the National Football Foundation.

Battle’s wife, Mary, is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Texas School of Nursing with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. She earned a Master of Science in healthcare administration from the University of Alabama-Birmingham. For many years Mary worked in the healthcare industry both in the clinical setting and for healthcare corporations that developed and managed physician provider networks including the development of strategically significant relationships with payors and business and industry.

Mary currently serves on the Arthritis Foundation National Board of Directors and is the chairperson of the Arthritis Foundation Leadership Council for the Birmingham market. She is also a member of the Volunteer Engagement Task Team for the Arthritis Foundation. In addition, Mary is an inaugural member of the UAB School of Medicine Board of Visitors and is active in fundraising activities for UAB that support research projects targeting more effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.

The Battles are part of UAB’s Stem Cell Institute Board and are both active in their support of UAB’s Department of Rheumatology.

In their leisure time, the Battles enjoy life on their ranch in Georgia. Mary is an avid equestrian while Bill enjoys working on various projects around the ranch.

COACHES/STAFF

LARRY DAVIS Head Coach

10th Season

VIRGINIA, 1973 It’s obvious that Larry Davis, now in his 10th season as the Crimson Tide’s head rowing coach, with a true passion for the sport of rowing and a strong relationship with the city of Tuscaloosa, is doing exactly what he’s always wanted to.

“I love the sport of rowing and I really have a commitment to the sport, the University and the city of Tuscaloosa,” Davis said. “It makes it easier to do this job when you have student-athletes who are hungry and want to achieve and have that same kind of approach to the sport that you do. I’ve been involved with rowing a long time and it makes coaching easier when you have a bunch of people around you who love the sport as much as you do.”

Now in his 17th year in Tuscaloosa, Davis has been involved in the local rowing community for a vast majority of that time, still getting on the water himself on a regular basis. During that span, he has helped the sport grow and flourish, making the Tide one of the fastest rising teams on the national scene.

“One of the things that I’ve learned over time is that good things take time and you have to put them all in layers, build on the pace and keep building,” Davis said. “The University has been very good about giving us the tools we need on a step-by-step basis to achieve

6

ALABAMA ROWING

that goal.”

It’s no easy task taking a club team and building it into a successful NCAA Division-I program, however six years down the road, Davis and his staff have much to be pleased with.

“We want to be one of those sports that represents the University at the highest level,” Davis said. “I think everybody involved with the program feels that way.”

Success has come early and often for Alabama rowing under Davis. In the program’s first year, the Tide earned top-5 finishes at many of the regattas it competed in and won a number of races in dual-meet competitions against established programs. At the Dad Vail College Championships, the Tide advanced to the semifinals in all of its races, unheard of for such an inexperienced squad.

The next two seasons saw the Tide continue to make enormous strides, including a silver medal at the esteemed Head of the Charles Regatta when the Varsity 8+ grabbed second place in the women’s Club race. That spring, Alabama went to the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Championships and came away with another silver medal in the Varsity 8+ race. In 2009, the Tide posted a top-10 finish at the Head of the Charles, bettering 35 other boats as well as advancing four boats to the finals of its first South/Central Sprint Championships.

In 2010, led by the program’s first group of fourthyear seniors, Alabama earned another medal at the Head of the Charles when it took third in the Club 8+ race. The Tide also earned its first varsity gold medal at the SIRA Championships when the Varsity 4+ took top honors. The 2010 season also saw Alabama take another step in its development when it joined with eight other programs from across the country to make up Conference USA’s rowing contingent.

“One of the things the team hadn’t had up to that point was the ability to chase a conference championship,” Davis said “It is a great motivator throughout the year. Instead of just pushing along and seeing how we do, we have our sights set on specific teams and getting past them.”

The 2011 season saw the Tide take a huge step forward, starting with another top-10 finish at the Head of the Charles, followed by several outstanding performances in the spring.

At the renowned San Diego Crew Classic, Alabama’s First Varsity 8+ took home the gold, winning the SeaWorld Cal Cup and earning Davis’ squad the inaugural Conference USA Boat of the Week honor as well as the Row2K.com Crew of the Week recognition.

The Tide followed that up with a prodigious showing at the SIRA Championships, where Alabama not only repeated as the First Varsity 4+ champions but added gold in the First Varsity 8+ and the Second Varsity 8+ as well, giving UA a sweep of the open Varsity events.

“Seeing what we’ve been able to accomplish up to this point in time is always a shot in the arm for me to keep excited about what’s going on,” Davis said.

“We’re not where we want to be yet, but we keep making progress and the students we have associated with the program are buying into what it takes to be a top-level program.”

Returning to the San Diego Crew Classic in 2012, Alabama again saw success with the First Varsity 8+ and the Second Varsity 8+ posting top-10 finishes.

The Tide had a solid showing in its third Conference USA Championships, finishing just one point out of sixth place, taking seventh overall with 20 points.

At the beginning of the 2012-13 season, in its seventh appearance at the prestigious Head of the Charles regatta in Cambridge, Mass., Alabama won a bronze medal in First Varsity 8+. The Tide also won gold in the First Varsity 8+ at the 2012 Head of the Chattanooga and bronze at the 2012 Head of the Hooch.

In the spring, the Tide won six total races at the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational and posted wins in the First and Second Varsity 4+ on the Black Warrior River against West Virginia and Central Florida.

In its first appearnace at the Knecht Cup Regatta, Alabama won the Second Novice 8+ while the Second Varsity 8+ took third.

At the fourth Conference USA Championship, and the first with 11 teams, the Tide took 10th place. Senior Tabitha Coleman earned All-Conference USA honors.

With construction of the brand new facilities under way, the 2013-2014 season would be the final year in which Alabama Rowing launced from the north side of the Black Warrior River. The Tide opened its fall season on a strong note, earning first place finishes in the Collegiate 8+ and Novice 8+ at the Chattanooga Head Race. In total, 12 different boats would earn top ten finishes throughout the fall. In the spring, Alabama would take home a combined 34 top-three finishes at the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational, Knecht Cup Regatta and Dale England Cup. Senior Lynsey Marshall was named to the All-Conference USA team at the league’s championship on May 17.

The 2014-15 season began the program’s

transition to the Big 12 conference and marked the opening of the brand new boathouse on Manderson Landing and training facility at the Student Activity Center at Presidential Village. Improvements in the facilities parallelled improvement on the water, as the team enjoyed a successful fall and spring. At the prestigious Knecht Cup Regatta, Alabama’s Varsity 4+ took home a silver medal in the Grand Finals, marking the first time at Tide boat had medaled in a grand final at the event.

The season culminated in a fifth-place finish at the Big 12 Championships, the highest finish in program history. In total, Alabama qualified for five Grand Final races, totaling 22 points. Senior Melissa Etter was honored as Alabama’s representative on the All-Big 12 Rowing team.

Under Davis’ direction, Tide rowers have not only seen success on the water but they have excelled in the classroom as well. Over the past nine years, Alabama rowers have earned the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association’s Scholar-Athlete Award 77 times, including a program-best 12 in 2014-15. In 2010, the Tide’s 11 CRCA Scholar-Athlete Awards led the nation.

On a conference level, Alabama’s rowers have been named to the Southeastern Conference Academic-Honor Roll 171 times, including 26 in the 2014-15 season. In its five years as a member of C-USA, Davis’ crew has turned in one of the conference’s best total with 10 spots on the league’s All-Academic team.

In its first season with the Big 12 in 2014-15, Alabama placed 25 on the Academic All-Big 12 team.

That kind of success for such a young program is nothing short of astounding, but it is certainly in line with Davis’ goals when he took the job as Alabama’s inaugural head coach.

“We have a plan and it’s an aggressive plan but there’s no doubt in my mind that it’s one we can fulfill,” Davis said.

His plan includes steady, continuous improvement in all phases of the program each year.

“Starting from almost scratch, to see it move along to this point, it’s very rewarding to see that kind of growth,” Davis said. “We need to realize that we still have a long way to go, but there’s so much opportunity here I can’t see us not achieving the kind of success we’re capable of.”

This success has been part of his vision from day one, Feb. 2, 2006, when after an exhaustive search, the University’s athletics department named Davis its new rowing coach.

“Larry is well-respected and connected in the

rowing community and brings immediate respect to our program,” former Alabama Athletics Director Mal Moore said.

Davis’ past in rowing spans four decades, including more than 25 years as a coach. Before starting the Crimson Tide’s program, he coached the Alabama Crew Club starting in 1998. In addition to his duties with the club team, he has served as the Director of Wellness and Aquatics at the YMCA of Tuscaloosa County.

Prior to his time in Tuscaloosa, Davis spent 198193 at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where he was head coach of the varsity crew and served as the school’s compliance officer. He led Marist to wins at the MAAC Championship Regatta and the New York State Small College Championships. He was also the head coach of the University of Alabama-Huntsville’s varsity crew from 1977-81.

Davis also spent time with the United States National Team. In 1983, he was an assistant coach for the U.S. Men’s Rowing team and later, in 1987, he served as team manager.

In 1983, Team USA competed at the World Championships in Germany and the Pan American Games in Venezuela, with the men’s 8+ winning gold at the Pan Am Games. The 1987 squad qualified for the World Championships in Denmark and the men’s 8+ once again won gold.

“I’ve worked with a lot of different programs at a lot of different levels and I try to bring that experience to bear in everything I do, from putting together workouts, to talking with the rowers, to race day,” Davis said.

As an athlete, he rowed for Washington-Lee High School in Virginia, where he was a member of the last Varsity 8+ to win gold at the Royal Henley Regatta in England.

Davis continued his rowing career at the University of Virginia where he won numerous competitions, including the Mid-American Championship and the Southern Collegiate Rowing Association Championship.

COACHES & STAFF Derek Tuten is in his ninth year as an assistant coach for the Alabama rowing team. While he is involved in all aspects of the program, his primary duties include coaching the novice rowers and serving as the program’s boatman/rigger, in charge of keeping the Tide’s boats in top condition.

“Derek brings a wealth of rowing knowledge to our program,” Davis said. “As a Tuscaloosa native and an Alabama graduate, he knows the pride everyone has in the Crimson Tide and he knows the Alabama rowing community. His experience and knowledge help our student-athletes become acclimatized to all phases of the collegiate rowing experience.”

Tuten served as head coach of the Alabama Crew Club prior to joining the Crimson Tide staff in the summer of 2007. As the club coach, he led the men to a win at the Head of the South and a finalist spot at the S.I.R.A. Championships.

“Having worked with coach Davis in the past with great success, I was excited about the opportunity to do so again at the Division I level,” Tuten said.

“With the university’s dedication to athletics and academics, I know this program will succeed.”

Tuten was a four-year member of the Alabama Crew Club while pursuing a psychology degree at Alabama.

He also rowed for the Riverside Boat Club and Community Rowing in Boston, one of the nation’s top cities for competitive rowing.

As a competitor, Tuten rowed at the U.S. Rowing National Championships as well as the C.R.A.S.H. – B Sprints World Indoor Championships. He won gold at the Southeastern Championships, Head of the South and Chattanooga Head Race during his career. Tuten also medaled at the Head of the Chattahoochee, Head of the Tennessee, Augusta Invitational, Tennessee Indoor Sprints, Atlanta Indoor Sprints and Clemson Sprints.

COACHES/STAFF

“Derek is an excellent teacher when it comes to rowing,” Davis said. “He brings a balance and patience to the program in terms of how he goes about his coaching. A keen observer, he takes what he sees and works individually with the student-athletes to teach them the skills they need to be successful.”

A 1997 graduate of Central High School, Tuten coached the Alabama Crew Club for two years as an assistant under Davis before taking over the reins in 2006. During that period, the club was a consistent medalist, including earning gold at the S.I.R.A. Championships.

Megan Patrick is in her fifth year as an assistant coach with the Alabama rowing team. Her primary duties include serving as the Crimson Tide’s recruiting coordinator and coaching UA’s small boats.

“Megan has experience at the highest level of rowing,” head coach Larry Davis said. “What’s more, after she completed her undergraduate degree, she had the interest and fortitude to go to Europe and spend time there not only continuing her education but coxing and coaching as well.”

Prior to joining the Tide, Patrick was an intern coach at the University of Virginia, working with both the women’s and men’s rowing teams. She served as an assistant coach for the Oxford University Women’s Boat Club from 2006-09 where her record coaching the junior varsity was 2-1 for the Reserves Race.

During that time, she was also the men’s and women’s coach for St. Hugh’s College Boat Club.

As a coxswain for Princeton University’s Heavyweight Men, Patrick was a three-time Eastern Sprints Champion between 1998-2001 and a silver medalist in 2000. She also earned two silver medals and a bronze at the IRAs during that time.

In 2001, she set a course record at the Eastern Sprints and competed in the final of the Ladies Challenge Plate at Henley Royal Regatta. Patrick went on to cox for Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University.

She competed in the Isis-Goldie race in 2003 and was a member of the winning Women’s Blue Boat in 2004 and 2006, setting the Women’s Boat Race course record in 2006.

“Megan had the chance to hone her skills and eye as a coach, in addition to be able to pick up a number of degrees, including her doctorate,” Davis said. “She gives our program a little more diversity and vision as to where we want to go.”

As a five-time Henley Royal Regatta competitor, Patrick was a Ladies Challenge Plate finalist in 2001, a Britannia Cup semifinalist in 2003, a Remenham Cup quarterfinalist in 2004, a Temple Challenge Cup semifinalist in 2005, and a Henley Women’s Regatta champion in 2006.

Patrick earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Princeton in 2001 and followed that with a pair of master’s degrees from Oxford, a master’s degree from Oxford Brookes, and a doctorate in education from Oxford in 2010.

ROWING ON THE BLACK WARRIOR RIVER

PLAYER PROFILES

It is one of the best practice and competitive courses in the nation, giving the University of Alabama’s young rowing team an immediate boost. The Black Warrior River, where the Crimson Tide practices and competes, features high banks, with long, protected straightaways and minimal current which makes it a rower’s dream. The Tide also benefits from having the river largely to itself.

Alabama is also fortunate that the river is dotted with prime viewing areas for dual meets and regattas, including The Park at Manderson Landing, which sits near the finish line of most of the Tide’s home events. With its multi-tiered slope down to the edge of the river, the park is a natural ‘stadium’ for cheering on the Crimson Tide.

Already endowed with one of the nation’s top competition and practice venues in the Black Warrior River, the completion of the state-of-the-art boathouse and training facilities encompasses everything the Tide needs to continue moving up through the ranks of collegiate rowing.

PROFILES

These facilities coupled with the already stellar athletic training, strength and conditioning and academic opportunities provided to all Alabama student athletes provide Alabama rowers with the best of all things.

ROLLTIDE.COM 23

The Launch Party: Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox, former Director of Athletics Mal Moore, former UA President Dr. Robert E. Witt and Associate Athletics Director Marie Robbins were all on hand for the announcement that Alabama would add rowing as a varsity sport on the banks of the Black Warrior River in the fall of 2005.

A SHORT HISTORY OF ALABAMA ROWING

The Black Warrior River was the scene for the historic inception of Crimson Tide rowing in October 2005. Director of Athletics Mal Moore, accompanied by former University President Robert E. Witt, stood on the river’s bank and announced the addition of rowing to the varsity lineup.

With the scenic river behind them, rowing was going to the next level by becoming the 21st varsity sport at the University of Alabama.

RECORDS & HISTORY

LAYING THE FOUNDATION

For over 20-plus years, the sport of rowing had been growing in the Tuscaloosa community and with rowing’s popularity expanding on the national scene, it almost seemed as if a varsity team had not come soon enough.

At the Capstone, club rowing began in 1987.

Mainly a social club whose intentions were to go out and have fun, rowing at Alabama was no different than racquetball or rugby – among team members there was no previous rowing experience or real desire to succeed on the water.

A few athletes with rowing experience joined the club in 1997, bringing with them a desire for change.

The team adopted a more competitive attitude, spent more time practicing, and began expanding its fundraising efforts.

In 1998, Larry Davis and wife, Vicki, moved to Tuscaloosa so she could take on a new job, leaving the former rowing coach looking for local work. When news of the University’s co-ed club rowing program’s need for a coach came to light, it seemed like a comfortable fit for the former University of Virginia rower. In January 1998, Davis was introduced as the team’s volunteer coach.

“Like any club that has never been organized or supervised, there was a learning curve,” Davis said.

“Many of them had never been in a competitive sport before.”

24 ALABAMA ROWING

In the meantime, Marie Robbins and others in the athletics department at Alabama were having discussions about adding a 21st varsity sport. There were a number of candidates to fill the slot, but Robbins, the senior woman administrator, could not get past the stories she was hearing about a successful club that was making the best of its limited resources a little way up the Black Warrior River.

“We started to delve into the issue about 2003,” Robbins said. “We began to talk about the opportunity to add an additional sport for women and provide additional participants the opportunity to compete.”

With a program and sport already in mind, it seemed natural to Robbins and those at the University to elevate the program’s coach as well. Davis had turned rowing into a grassroots success on campus, building up a team of college students that was bringing home numerous medals, as well as backto-back points trophies at the Augusta Invitational in Augusta, Ga.

“We looked at a lot of coaches internally and externally and ultimately at the end of the day we decided that coach Davis, in terms of local knowledge and familiarity with the club program and local operation of the river also had a wealth of collegiate experience under his belt,” Robbins said. “For coach [Mal] Moore, Larry’s loyalty to the university was helpful in that for 10 years he worked in addition to his paid job to volunteer and coach these young ladies who had come out for the club team.”

Davis’ resume included head coaching jobs at Marist College and the University of AlabamaHuntsville as well as an assistant coaching spot on the 1983 U.S. Men’s National Rowing Team. As of February 2006, Davis would be able to add one more school to that already impressive list.

For a school with little experience in rowing a seasoned coach like Larry Davis was the obvious

answer, Robbins said.

“With Coach Davis, it’s local knowledge,” she said. “Having been here for 10 years helps those of us with less knowledge about the sport.”

STARTING OUT The transition from club to NCAA Division I proved challenging. The team was forced to move on without former club athletes who could not adjust to the commitment necessary to varsity-level rowing.

Davis set up a challenging first-year schedule to help with the transition, including competitions against notable Division-I crews such as Notre Dame and Cincinnati as well as Murray State and Creighton, two schools that had previously beaten Alabama’s club team.

“There was no fluff in the schedule, but there were some teams I thought we could beat,” Davis said.

To the surprise of many in collegiate rowing, they did just that, defeating past foes Murray State and Creighton and coming from behind to beat the Bearcats of Cincinnati. Alabama medaled in all four events at the Head of the South Regatta, winning two of them. The Tide also beat schools such as North Carolina and Duke while giving Notre Dame a bit of a scare, holding close to them in a couple of events.

Success came quickly to the first-year program despite unfamiliarity with the sport by both the athletes and the athletic department’s support staff.

Rowing was a sport that Robbins and her colleagues had to learn the nuances of - things such as what equipment and facilities were necessary and how many staff members to hire were among the initial challenges.

“The biggest challenge is attitude,” Davis said.

“When you’re dealing with walk-ons, I think a lot of people don’t understand the sport and how much hard work is involved. When you take somebody

The SeaWorld Cal Cup Champions at the 2011 San Diego Crew Classic meets against the likes of Clemson, Kansas State, Tennessee, North Carolina and Southern Methodist.

The success against these established crews propelled the team to the postseason, earning two Grand Final berths at the SIRA Championship Regatta. As they continued through the postseason the team would see two crews head to the semifinals and one boat head to the petite finals at the Dad Vail Regatta.

The girls advanced four crews to the finals of the South/Central Sprint Championships to cap off a very successful season.

“This season was a transition where most of the club athletes were gone and we didn’t have as many seniors,” Davis said. “We increased our boat speed but we also toughened up our schedule. It was probably a little frustrating for the girls because we were going faster but we weren’t seeing some of the wins that we saw the year before because we were now rowing a lot of the top-20 teams in the United States.”

Academically, nine rowers earned the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar-Athlete Award and 24 UA rowers earned a place on the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll.

GROWING THE PROGRAM

From joining Conference USA to enjoying their first gold medal at the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships, Alabama rowing’s fourth season was a season full of firsts. The first group of fourth-year seniors provided the Crimson Tide with the most experience at the highest level since the program’s start, which paid dividends right away with a bronze medal in the Club 8+ competition at the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta early in the 2009 fall season. Alabama closed out the fall with a

gold-medal sweep of the Secret City Regatta races.

Alabama started the 2010 spring season off with a sweep, taking first place in all of its races in a home dual meet against Kansas State. The Tide secured another first by taking gold in the Varsity 4+ at the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships.

At the 2010 South/Central Sprint Championships, Alabama earned a place in the finals of all its races.

The South/Central Sprints also served as the first Conference USA Rowing Championships, marking the first time that Alabama participated in a conference event. The Tide finished sixth in C-USA while junior Laura Skaggs earned All-Conference USA honors.

On the academic side of the ledger, Alabama was one of only two teams with three rowers on the Conference USA All-Academic Team as seniors Stacey Ogle, Bailey Sanders and Katie Spohr all came away with the honor. Other classroom accolades included 11 rowers, the most of any team in the nation, earning the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association ScholarAthlete Award. A program-best 27 Alabama rowers earned a place on the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll.

The Crimson Tide’s fifth season was a quantam leap forward, including top honors at a national regatta and winning a trio of gold medals from the SIRA Championships.

“The 2010-11 season was a huge step forward for us,” Davis said. “It was big in terms of knowing what it takes to be competitive and then being able go out and execute it. I think in the past we might have had an idea of what it took to be successful, but that was the first time we were able to bring it all together and execute on a consistent basis.

Alabama posted a huge win at the 2011 San Diego Crew Classic, an event billed as “America’s Premier Spring Regatta,” when its First Varsity 8+ boat took first place in its race, winning the SeaWorld Cal Cup. Alabama’s squad was among more than 4,000 rowers out on Crown Point Shores on Mission Bay.

“We attacked a bit more than we did in the prelims and had a more aggressive race plan in finals,” Davis said after the race. “The Varsity 8+ dug down a little deeper and did what they were capable of doing.

They made a really good move about midway through the race, pulling ahead, and really pushed through the third 500.”

RECORDS & HISTORY

who is used to a club mentality, the varsity level is much more intense. It takes athletes who are driven, dedicated and committed. It takes a lot of hard work, focus, discipline and sacrifice.

“What I’m asking the students to do is move a boat over a mile and a quarter distance as fast as they can, which means they’re running flat out for somewhere near eight minutes,” Davis said. “It’s enjoyable in one way, but it’s very painful. It’s not something your average person is going to want to do.”

In the classroom, seven rowers earned 2007 Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association ScholarAthlete Award, while nine earned a place on the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll.

The Tide followed up a successful first season spring with an extremely successful fall, opening the season with a pair of top-three finishes and a silvermedal finish all at the Head of the Charles Regatta.

A gold-medal finish followed at the Hobbs Island Regatta in Huntsville. The team continued to excel in the spring of 2008, winning race after race during the dual-meet season, including a program-first sweep against UNC on their home water at Chapel Hill.

Strong dual meets propelled Alabama into the 2008 postseason, where they earned a silver medal at the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Championships and finished second overall at the SIRA Championships, a major accomplishment for such a young program.

At the Dad Vail College Championships, Alabama continued to take big strides, reaching the Grand Final of the Novice 8+ race, taking fourth overall.

Individually, Bryn Crawford became the first UA rower to earn a place on the Collegiate Coaches Rowing Association’s All-South Region team.

In the classroom, nine rowers earned the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association ScholarAthlete Award while 16 were named to the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll.

The Tide kept stride and continued its winning ways, carrying over into its third season, a season emblazoned in bronze, silver and gold. Success came early as the women earned a pair of bronze medals and seven top-10 finishes at the Chattanooga Head Race to open the season. In their second race of the season, the squad split up with the varsity crews heading to Cambridge Mass., for the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta and the novice crews heading to Huntsville, Ala., for the Hobbs Island Regatta. Both teams experienced great success with the varsity squad placing 10th, beating 35 other teams at one of the most competitive races, while the novice crews brought home first and second place in the Novice 8+ race. The Tide earned five top-three finishes, including a pair of gold medals, at the Head of the Tennessee Regatta. Closing out the fall season, the novice squad performed exceptionally well, bringing home three medals - a bronze, silver and gold - at the Head of the Hooch Regatta.

As the 2009 spring season got under way, Alabama made major strides, achieving success in

RECORDS & HISTORY

Following its success at the San Diego Crew Classic, Alabama’s Varsity 8+ was named the inaugural Conference USA Boat of the Week as well as Row2K. com’s Crew of the Week.

Alabama followed up their 2010 Varsity 4+ SIRA Championships gold medal by repeating the feat in 2011, as well as bringing home gold in the Varsity 8+ and Second Varsity 8+ races, in the midst of rough weather conditions.

“To sweep all the Varsity Open races is a really big step forward for our program,” Davis said after SIRAs. “There aren’t too many programs that have done that, so we were pretty happy with that.”

The Tide was looking forward to carrying its success into the 2011 Conference USA Championships, but the April 27th tornado that ripped through Tuscaloosa cut the academic semester and the rowing team’s season short. It also trimmed a dual meet with Clemson and the Tide’s second appearance at the C-USA Championships from Alabama’s schedule.

“We were certainly disappointed to not be able to carry our success into the postseason, but it was still a very good year for us,” Davis said. “To be able to go and travel across the country and compete at a very high level against teams that are making it to the NCAAs, and to turn around and not only win one race but the three open championship races for varsity women at the SIRA Championships, shows that we learned how to execute in a high pressure situation at a high level.”

Senior Alissa Kranz earned 2011 All-Conference USA honors and became the second Alabama rower to earn CRCA All-South Region honors. On the academic side of the ledger, Alabama became the only team to put three rowers on the Conference USA All-Academic Team each of the first two years of the program when senior Jessica Allaway, Kranz and junior Stephanie Varner came away with the honor in 2011.

Other classroom accolades included eight rowers earning 2011 Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar-Athlete Award honors and 17 rowers earning a place on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

Allaway also earned the 2011 Brad Davis SEC Community Service Award, which earned her a $3,000 postgraduate scholarship while the team received the athletic department’s community service award for the fourth year in a row.

Despite having a team slowed by injuries, Alabama’s sixth season provided the young program a clinic in fighting through adversity.

In their first race of the 2011-12 fall season, the Chattanooga Head Race, the Tide earned two medals, taking gold in the Novice 8+ race and silver in the First Varsity 8+ race. Alabama also medaled in the Club 8+ race at the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta.

The 2012 spring season showed improvements, with the Novice 8+ boat taking first place at the Oak Ridge Invitational and the Second Varsity 8+ finishing second.

Returning to the San Diego Crew Classic, Alabama again saw success with the First Varsity 8+ posting fifth- and sixth-place finishes and the Second Varsity 8+ posting a sixth-place finish.

The Tide had a solid showing at the Conference USA Championships, finishing just one point out of sixth place to take seventh overall on Melton Hill Lake.

Senior Leigh Ann Terch earned All-Conference USA honors.

On the academic side, Alabama placed two rowers on the 2012 Conference USA All-Academic Team, marking the third year in a row that the Tide placed multiple athletes on the list. Senior Stephanie Varner earned her second consecutive unanimous

selection while junior Canella Tinker made her debut.

Other classroom accolades included five rowers earning the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar-Athlete Award, while 17 Alabama rowers earned a place on the SEC Academic Honor Roll and 23 were named to the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

At the beginning of the 2012-13 season, in its seventh appearance at the prestigious Head of the Charles regatta in Cambridge, Mass., Alabama won a bronze medal in First Varsity 8+. The Tide also won gold in the First Varsity 8+ at the 2012 Head of the Chattanooga and bronze at the 2012 Head of the Hooch.

In the spring, the Tide won six total races at the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational and posted wins in the First and Second Varsity 4+ on the Black Warrior River against West Virginia and Central Florida.

In its first appearnace at the Knecht Cup Regatta, Alabama won the Second Novice 8+ while the Second Varsity 8+ took third.

At the fourth Conference USA Championship, and the first with 11 teams, the Tide took 10th place.

Senior Tabitha Coleman earned All-Conference USA honors.

On the academic side, Coleman earned a place on the 2013 Conference USA All-Academic Team.

Other classroom accolades included seven rowers earning the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar-Athlete Award while 17 Alabama rowers earned a place on the SEC Academic Honor Roll and 28 were named to the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

With construction of the brand new facilities under way, the 2013-2014 season would be the final year in which Alabama Rowing launced from the north side of the Black Warrior River. The Tide opened its fall season on a strong note, earning first place finishes in the Collegiate 8+ and Novice 8+ at the Chattanooga Head Race. In total, 12 different boats would earn top ten finishes throughout the fall. In the spring, Alabama would take home a combined 34 top-three finishes at the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational, Knecht Cup Regatta and Dale England Cup.

Senior Lynsey Marshall was named to the AllConference USA team at the league’s championship on May 17 and Ashley Allison was named to the C-USA All-Academic Team. In total, a program-record 14 team members earned the C-USA Commisionner’s Medal with 43 named to the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and 18 named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

The 2014-15 season began the program’s transition to the Big 12 conference and marked the opening of the brand new boathouse on Manderson Landing and training facility at the Student Activity Center at Presidential Village. Improvements in the facilities parallelled improvement on the water, as the team enjoyed a successful fall and spring. At the prestigious Knecht Cup Regatta, Alabama’s Varsity 4+ took home a silver medal in the Grand Finals, marking the first time at Tide boat had medaled in a grand final at the event.

The season culminated in a fifth-place finish at the Big 12 Championships, the highest finish in program history. In total, Alabama qualified for five Grand Final races, totaling 22 points. Senior Melissa Etter was honored as Alabama’s representative on the All-Big 12 Rowing team.

In the classroom, Alabama had a program-high 12 CRCA Scholar-Athletes and qualified 25 rowers to the Academic All-Big 12 team.

Alabama closed out its inaugural Big 12 Championship with 22 points, good for a fifth-place finish which is the highest conference finish in program history. Texas claimed the league title with 48 points, earning the Big 12’s automatic bid to the NCAA Championships.

“We knew we had good depth this year and the points total at the end of today really showed that,” said Head Coach Larry Davis. “We knew Texas would be really good at the top but overall we were much more competitive than in years past. We’ve shown the ability to come together and compete as a team and we’ve moved up quite a bit within the conference.

“This weekend was a big step forward in the program. I knew that if we did well we could compete in the middle of the pack and that’s just what we did.”

For her efforts over the weekend, Tide senior Maureen Purcell was named to the All-Big 12 Rowing team. She has competed all season as a member of Alabama’s First Varsity 8 boat.

“Maureen is really a model for how we want to build this program,” said Davis. “She started her career here with modest experience and really caught fire in the middle of her career. She rowed over the summers for some really good clubs and that helped her tremendously. The expectations as a program are higher now and she showed that with dedication and a great work ethic, you can really improve yourself as a rower. She took the initiative to do so and it really showed with her contribution to the team. She is certainly deserving of the award and she has been a great asset to this team.”

Alabama’s Second Varsity 8 and Third Varsity 8 boats notched the highest finishes of the day for the Tide, both placing fourth in their races. The 2V8 turned in the fastest time of the day as well, crossing the line in 7:06.80, while the 3V8 finished the 2,000-meter course in 7:29.10. Alabama’s First and Second Varsity 4s and its First Varsity 8 all placed sixth with times of 8:09.13, 8:02.54 and 7:13.91, respectively.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND THE CRIMSON TIDE

For coach Larry Davis, the goal is simple. He wants his student-athletes to leave Alabama with medals around their neck and a diploma under their arm.

Success, by that criteria, has been immediate for the rowing program.

“One thing that we have laid as a foundation for this program is to be the absolute best in all areas, athletically and academically,” Davis said.

Giving credence to that statement is the fact that in 2010, Alabama led the nation in Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Scholar Athlete Awards, with a program-high 11 Crimson Tide rowers earning the honor, tying UA with Brown University for the national lead.

“To lead the nation in this award speaks volumes about the commitment placed on academics at the University of Alabama,” Davis said. “It also shows that as we improve on the water, our dedication to academics hasn’t wavered in the slightest.”

In 2015, Alabama qualified a program-best 12 CRCA Scholar Athletes, beating the previous record from 2010.

To earn CRCA honors, a rower must hold a 3.5 grade point average for her career, be at least a sophomore in eligibility and have competed in 75 percent of the team’s spring races.

In Alabama’s seven-year history as an NCAA Division I program, 41 Tide rowers have earned a total of 77 CRCA Scholar Athlete honors.

On a conference level, Alabama’s rowers have been named to the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll 171 times, including a program-record 27 in 2010.

In 2009, Stacey Ogle became the first Tide rower to earn a place on the prestigious CoSIDA Academic All-District At-Large second team, an award that spans several NCAA Division I sports.

In 2012, Alabama earned two spots on the 15-member Conference USA All-Academic Team, marking the third year in a row that the Tide placed

multiple athletes on the list. Over the award’s four-year history, Alabama has garnered nine selections.

To make the ballot for the C-USA all-academic team, a rower has to have earned a 3.2 cumulative grade point average or better and is a key contributor to her team. The team is then selected by the league’s sports information directors for rowing.

In the four-year history of the award, two UA rowers have been unanimous C-USA All-Academic squad selections - Katie Spohr in 2010 and Stephanie Varner in 2012. Varner also became the first Alabama rower to earn a place on the C-USA All-Academic Team more than once, earning her second consecutive nod as a senior in 2012.

Spohr, Ogle and Bailey Sanders were named to the inaugural C-USA All-Academic squad as seniors in 2010. Alissa Kranz and Varner were named to the team in 2011. Varner was joined by Canella Tinker on the prestigious list in 2012 while Tabitha Coleman was the lastest honoree in 2013.

While the Conference USA All-Academic Team is limited to rowers, Alabama athletes also earned recognition on two Conference USA-wide lists starting in 2012. A total of 11 UA rowers have earned the C-USA Commissioner’s Medal, which requires a 3.75 grade point average, while Tide rowers earned a place on the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which requires a 3.0 GPA, 51 times.

The secret behind the academic success for Tide student-athletes is really no secret at all. Alabama’s Center of Athletic Student Services, located in the stateof-the-art Bill Battle Academic Center, housed within Paul W. Bryant Hall, stands ready to help Tide studentathletes get the most out of their academic experience at one of the nation’s finest universities.

CASS is headed by Assistant Athletics Director for Student Services Jon Dever. Dever is assisted by Tyler Roberts, rowing’s academic advisor, as well as Heather

Anders, Jenny Sanders, Brenda Elliott, Fern Hampton, Lance Walker, Lisa Patrick, Evan Cardwell, Molly Dowd, Stephanie Godfrey and Joy Burroughs. Joining this group are five interns and more than 60 part-time tutors. The entire operation is housed in Bryant Hall.

The CASS staff works as a liaison between the athletics department, undergraduate divisions and the administrative offices of the University. The staff assists with class scheduling and registration, makes sure all athletes are maintaining satisfactory progress toward their degrees, monitors academic eligibility and provides career counseling. The advisors also secure tutors and schedule study sessions.

From the moment a recruit first walks on to campus to the moment an athlete graduates with diploma in hand, the academic services provided are outstanding.

For the first year at the Capstone, freshmen and junior college transfers are required to attend nightly study halls. After that, the attendance is based on the individual’s GPA and study needs.

The dedicated CASS staff can only give guidance and direction. Achievement is left in the hands of the student-athlete. If an athlete wishes to succeed in the classroom then Alabama’s CASS will provide them with every opportunity to achieve the highest goals.

THE BILL BATTLE ACADEMIC CENTER

RECORDS & HISTORY

The Bill Battle Academic Center at Paul W. Bryant Hall is the crown jewel in Alabama’s $125 million Crimson Tradition building initiative. Through the auspices of the Crimson Tradition Fund, Alabama took its former athletic dorm and converted it into a 55,000-square foot state-of-the-art facility that benefits the more than 500 Crimson Tide student-athletes.

The building’s many amenities includes a 48-seat computer lab with new equipment. The computer lab also houses 25 laptop computers that can be checked out by student-athletes for use on road trips. There are math, English and writing labs as well as individual study rooms. The athletic academic advisor offices are also housed in the building, along with several study lounges, two 50-seat classrooms and a 140-seat classroom.

The classrooms feature cutting edge teaching devices, including digital overhead projectors and “smart boards” that allow instructors to interact with students on the go. Throughout the building, there are 16 information stations that provide student-athletes with news about tutorials, study sessions and even practice schedules.
