Rowing Program Founder Returns
Alinda Wikert ’66 met with Head Rowing Coach Will Forteith and Eugene McDermott Head of School Laura Leathers this winter to share the early history of Hockaday Rowing.
Alinda, with the support of former Head of School Liza Lee, started Hockaday Rowing in the fall of 1993 and coached the team in its inaugural season. After describing how she brought the sport to the School, Alinda met with the team captains and some of the current rowers who are in the middle of off-season training. Hockaday Rowing will celebrate its 30th season this fall thanks to Alinda’s efforts!
