Tulsa Rowing Signs Nine for 2020

Tulsa rowing head coach Kevin Harris announced the signing of nine student-athletes for the 2020 signing class. Bass Andre, Millie Brice, Gabrielle Cook, Helena Gutzmer, Julianna Lynch, Ariadni Mitsi, Isabella Musollino, Ivanina Petrova and Robine Van Doorn will join the Golden Hurricane roster in August 2020.

"I am really pleased with this class," Harris said. "This upcoming May we will graduate 12 seniors who have had a big impact on our program. I think these new recruits will make as big an impact on our team over the next four years and will help make us faster. They come from very diverse backgrounds, but all share two things in common. They have big brains and they are all incredibly hard workers. Our assistant coaches, led by Kerry Hassall, did a wonderful job vetting this group and I am excited to start working with them in August."
