PRINCETON, N.J. - For the second consecutive year, Princeton women's open crew head coach Lori Dauphiny has been named Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year, as announced by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association. This is only the second year the CRCA has given regional honors, and Dauphiny is the only coach to be recognized both years.
Dauphiny guided the Tigers to a 12-1 overall record in dual competition in 2000, with the only loss coming to two-time defending national champion Brown. Princeton finished third at Eastern Sprints and sixth at the NCAA championships this season. Dauphiny has amassed a 44-4 record since taking over in 1997 and led the Tigers to an EAWRC title in her first season.
The other regional coaches of the year include Jan Harville from the University of Washington (West region), Mark Rothstein of the University of Michigan (Central region) and John Murphy from Brown University (New England region).
The Regional Coach of the Year award is intended to recognize a coach who has experienced outstanding success during the season, demonstrated great team improvement from the prior season, fulfilled the team's potential and demonstrated a high level of professionalism and integrity as a coach.
The Division I National Coach of the Year, selected from the four regional award winners, will be announced at a later date.
