Delaney McGuire is in her second stint as an assistant coach for the women's rowing program. McGuire returned to Ypsilanti in June 2021 after a two-year stint as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at her alma mater, Saint Joseph's University.
McGuire had served as a graduate assistant on Savage's staff from 2016-18 before being elevated to an assistant coach from 2018-19. Currently, she is the recruiting coordinator and responsible for varsity athlete development.
In 2022, McGuire aided Eastern Michigan to a third overall finish at the CAA Championships. Along with the 1V’s bronze medal, the Eagles tallied 26 points, the most ever for EMU at the championships since the program joined the conference in 2012. Members of that Eagles First Varsity Eight squad, Emma Boersen and Chloe Hinojosa, were named to the 2022 All-CAA team.
At Saint Joseph’s, McGuire made an immediate impact, helping the Hawks capture their first-ever title in pairs at the Small Boat Challenge and place a program-best third in the 4+ at the Head of the Charles during the fall of 2019.
In 2021, SJU took home the bronze in 2V8 at Dad Vail Regatta, while finishing third at the Atlantic 10 Conference Championships.
She was also a member of the Athletic Department's Executive Team for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
A four-year letterwinner at Saint Joseph's from 2012-16, McGuire served as team captain as a senior and earned Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team accolades. Also the recipient of the team's Vasquez Award, McGuire graduated with a bachelor's degree in art education.
Following graduation, McGuire joined the staff at Eastern Michigan as a graduate assistant. After serving in the role for nearly two seasons, she was elevated to full-time assistant in 2018 and oversaw recruiting and development.
In 2018-19, McGuire helped the Freshman 8 claim gold at the Dad Vail Championship, led the Novice 8 to finish a program-best fifth at the Head of the Hooch, and guided the Novice/3V8 to victory at the Cooper Invitational Regatta. Additionally, under McGuire's guidance, the Novice set a new record for 2K time and placed a student-athlete on EMU's all-time Novice 6K record board, while the 2019 recruiting class ranked the fastest in program history.
At the 2019 Colonial Athletic Association Championships, McGuire's assistance helped EMU match its best finish in program history. The Eagles finished third overall with a second-place effort in the Second Varsity Eight, a third-place mark in the First Varsity Eight, and a fourth-place performance in the Varsity Four race.
Earning a master's degree in sports management from Eastern Michigan, McGuire continued her rowing career while coaching as she earned a spot on the United States rowing team that competed in the 2018 World University Championships in Shanghai, China, and finished 11th in the Lightweight Double Sculls.
The Philadelphia native graduated from Archbishop John Carroll High School in 2012. She participated on the rowing and basketball teams while there and earned team MVP honors in rowing as a senior.
