Brian Ebke '09, a former Princeton heavyweight rower who has achieved significant success coaching the Oklahoma City Boathouse Foundation, is in his second year as an assistant coach with the Princeton open rowing team.

Last year, Princeton went 12-1 in the regular season, including a perfect 7-0 in the Ivy League, and won a third straight Ivy League team title. The 1V returned to the NCAA grand final for the first time since 2013 and placed fifth overall, three spots higher than the boat's seed.

Ebke began working at the Oklahoma City Boathouse in 2009, and he took over as the varsity girls head coach in 2011. Since then, he has placed four boats in grand finals at Youth Nationals, including winning the lightweight 4+ in 2014, and he was named the Director of Rowing for the Oklahoma City program two years ago. He led his lightweight junior women to gold at the 2015 CRASH B Indoor World Championship.

Besides his experience with Oklahoma City, Ebke brings experience at both the national and collegiate level. He has served as a U.S. National Team High Performance Camp head coach for two years, and that followed three years of coaching experience at the Development Camp.

Ebke also served as the graduate assistant coach at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Ebke had a successful rowing career, which included a win at the 2004 CRASH B Indoor World Championship, as well as a Top-5 finish as a member of the 2004 Men's 8+ Junior National Team. He won four medals at the Youth National Championships between 2002-2005, and then rowed four years at Princeton.
