The 2004-05 campaign is the ninth year for Stephen Kish as head coach of Bucknell crew. A 1992 Bucknell graduate and native of Miami, Fla. (Palmetto High School), Kish served as president of Bucknell crew in his senior year and received the Most Valuable Rower award, as well. After graduation, Kish remained in Lewisburg to serve as an assistant coach under Jimmy King '90. In 1993, Kish relocated to New England, where he served as head coach at the University of Rhode Island, supervising three assistant coaches and over 70 rowers in the men's and women's programs. Kish led three crews to medals at the New England Championships in 1995, and the men's novice eight placed fourth at the Champion International Collegiate Regatta. Since Kish returned to lead the Bucknell crew program in 1996, the women's crew has made a name for itself, winning eight varsity medals (three gold, four silver, one bronze) at the Dad Vail Regatta in the past five years and competing twice (2000 & 2004) at the Henley Women's Regatta in England. Through his efforts, the program has seen the construction of a boathouse, a much-improved equipment inventory, and an ever-increasing number of opportunities for Bucknell student-athletes to develop as student-athletes and as leaders. | ||||||||||||||||
