COACH GLENN ON TODD:

"Kelly has grown consistently through the fall as a leader within the group. As a second year coxswain, Kelly still has quite a bit to experience and to learn.

As she develops her style and raises her personal expectation level, she will become a coxswain the team depends on to get where we need to be."
