COACH GLENN ON VICK:

"Jovanna holds the reigns as the senior coxswain this year and has the benefit of some of the best experience to draw from. Her commitment to the team and stepping outside of her comfort zone will be evident to the rowers she leads and will be a major factor in taking the team places it has never been before."
