Piper Bittner '25 Recruiting Profile

I have been both rowing and coxing since June 2020 at Maritime Rowing Club under the coaching of Yulia Chagina, Sorcha O’Donnell, and most recently Sharon Kriz. I have had success both on and off the water and in both the rowing and coxing position. At this point, I have made the decision to focus on coxing in college because I find that I am able to strive and best be part of the team. I love being in the rowing seat and have found success in coxing because of my rowing experience. My knowledge about the stroke, boat run, and the most efficient ways to move a boat has been very helpful. Because of this I’ve also gotten to spend a lot of time working with the younger JV and Novice girls on my team which I really enjoy. As of this spring season I made the transition to our boys team, maintaining my ranking as top coxswain and working with our 1V 8+.
