AJRA would like to welcome Kyle Daugherty as new Head Coach for Varsity Men. Coach Daugherty comes to AJRA from the University of Florida where he spent two years as Men’s Varsity Head Coach. During his time at UF, Coach Daugherty had crews make finals at SIRA and ACRA National Championships. His crew also received an automatic bid to the Head of the Charles for the first time in the school’s history. Coach Daugherty began rowing at Mathews High School in Southeastern Virginia and continued rowing into college for Syracuse University. He will be joining AJRA August 1, so when you have a chance, stop by the boathouse and give Coach Daugherty a big AJRA welcome!
