Sooner Graduate Joins Oklahoma Rowing Staff

Former Sooner Chelsea Moore joins the women's rowing coaching staff as a graduate assistant after competing under Head Coach Leeanne Crain since its inaugural season in 2008.
“Chelsea will do a great job in her new role as a graduate assistant coach” Crain said. As a former Sooner standout and team captain, she knows what it takes to be successful and she'll be a very positive role model for the team.”
Moore competed for two years at the varsity level, contributing to a win in the varsity four Big 12 Championship in 2009, as well as advancing to the grand finals at the NCAA South/Central Regional in the varsity four in 2009.
As a member of the varsity eight team, Moore contributed to second-place finishes in both the Big 12 Championship and the Cal Cup at the San Diego Crew Classic in 2010.
Moore was a two-time Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) National Scholar-Athlete, selected as CRCA All-Region, second team and Conference USA Rowing All-Conference Team, as well as consistently landing on the Big 12 Commissioners Honor Roll. She is currently working towards a master's degree in adult and higher education.
Moore has had experience coaching corporate league rowing at the Chesapeake Boathouse. Throughout her experience in Oklahoma Crew, OU's club rowing organization, she assisted in the development of the rowers as a team captain for two years.
“Switching from rower to rowing coach will give me a unique advantage when coaching”, Moore said, “I am familiar with Coach Crain's style of coaching and know the difference that it can make in a crew. I hope my previous experience as a student-athlete will be a resource for the team if they come across any struggles this year.”
The Yukon, Okla. native will assist in guiding the newly selected novice team with assistant coach Emma Gresson.
“I have seen great potential in this year's novices”, Moore added. “The athleticism and size are impressive in this group. With hard work and good attitudes, we will do great things this year. I expect this year's novice team to turn heads.”
