  • Title:
    Assistant Coach
The 2018-19 season marks the first as an assistant for Emily Wasz. A graduate of Indiana University, works primarily with the novice, while also handling community service, recruiting, and compliance.

Wasz is fresh off an outstanding collegiate career at Indiana, where she qualified for the NCAA Championships three times. As an integral part of IU's First Varsity 8+ this past season, Indiana came away victorious at the Doc Hosea Invitational, March 31, as Wasz's boat won the morning heat before claiming the Grand Final over Dartmouth, Syracuse, Rutgers, Penn, and Cornell. Later in the season, she helped the Hooisers to their second Dale England Cup in as many years, as her boat took second. After a fifth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships, Indiana claimed 13th at the NCAA Championships.

In the summer of 2018, Wasz and fellow assistant coach Delaney McGuire were a part of the United States rowing team that competed in the World University Championships in Shanghai, China. Wasz, coached by EMU Head Coach Kemp Savage and EMU Assistant Coach Julie Quoss, earned an bronze medal as a member of the V8+ boat. 

During her time in Bloomington, Wasz was IU's rowing representative on the Student-Athlete Advisory Board. In her role, she represented IU at meetings and functions concerning the NCAA, planned and executed service events, and oversaw social media and community outreach. Additionally, she led the Hoosiers to the program's first Excellence Challenge Award, given to the Big Ten school with the most community service hours.

Wasz earned her bachelor's degree in public relations and advertising from Indiana in May.
