United States women's national rowing team

The United States National Women's Rowing Team is a select group of elite female athletes who represent the United States in international rowing competitions. The team first competed at the Olympics in 1976 and has had a multitude of successes.[1] The implementation of Title IX during the 1970s had a large and positive impact on women's collegiate rowing, and allowed for a growth in interest and talent in order for the creation of the national team.[2] The team is selected through a competitive, in-depth process that is facilitated by USRowing each year. Tom Terhaar served as the national women's head coach from 2001 until fall of 2021, and was a large part of the team's success in the past decade.[3] The team's eight (8+) won the gold medal at every summer Olympics between 2004 and 2016, finishing fourth at the 2021 Olympics. The US women's crew won every World Rowing Championships from 2005 through 2016.
