HARTFORD, Conn. - Trinity College has hired Nate Clark as an assistant men's rowing coach for the 2022-23 season.  Clark comes to Trinity from Columbia University where he was an assistant men's coach for the last five years.  Possessing significant experience, Clark has also been a men's freshmen rowing coach at the University of California-Santa Barbara, assistant and associate men's rowing coach at the New York Athletic Club (NYAC) in New York City, and an assistant men's rowing coach at Williams College.

"I am thrilled to have Nate join the coaching staff," said Trinity Head Men's Rowing Coach Kevin MacDermott. "As a coach, mentor, and teacher, he is an amazing addition to the current team. And as a recruiter, he will be an incredible resource to future classes of Trinity oarsmen."

The Bantams posted a 3-1 record in varsity-eight dual races and finished sixth at the New England Rowing Championships (NERC) Regatta and eighth (4th among NESCAC schools) at the NIRC Regatta in  the spring of 2022.  Trinity was selected for the first-ever Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) Division III National Championship race, earning a bronze medal with a third-place finish in the grand final of that event in New Jersey.  The Bantams open the 2022-23 campaign at home with the Head of the Riverfront Regatta on October 2.

"I am unbelievably excited to join Coach MacDermott and the team," said Clark. "Trinity rowing has a storied legacy of success to which everyone in the boathouse is motivated to contribute. It will be an honor to work with the program as we march forward together toward the IRA Regatta and a chance to compete for a National Championship."
